Tulpar-Kazyk is located at the edge of Togotoi village of Kara-Kulja region in Osh province. Once upon a time, there were forty mountain poplar trees growing side by side resembling forty forced wedges. According to local people, these forty poplar trees were used by the forty warriors of Manas as wedges to tie their horses, hence the name of the place – “horse wedge”. However, later these trees were cut down local people’s prophesy notwithstanding, and it is believed that the trees were bleeding while being cut, and those who did it incurred the punishment of the sacred site.
