It is 750 m–930 m above sea level; in the south and west, the elevation is closer to 750 m–800 m, while in the north and northeast it reaches 900 m–950 m. The north and east of the city is bounded by the Hisar range, which can reach up to 4000 m above sea level, and is bounded on the south by the Babatag, Aktau, Rangontau and Karatau mountains which reach a height from 1400 m–1700 m above sea level; Dushanbe, therefore, is an intermontane basin located in the Hisar Valley.

<!-- .vintro -->
