The Kara-Üngkür (Kyrgyz: Кара-Үңкүр), in its lower course Tentaksoy (Uzbek: Tentaksoy, Kyrgyz: Тентек-Сай) is a river in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. It is a large right tributary of the Kara Darya.[1] The river is formed at the confluence of the rivers Kyzyl-Üngkür and Arstanbap, which originate in the Fergana Range. The river's length is 127 km, and its basin size 4,130 km2.[2][3] It discharges into the Kara Darya near the town of Kuyganyor, north of Andijan. The Kara-Üngkür is used for irrigation. It flows along the villages Kyzyl-Üngkür, Oogon-Talaa, Charbak and Bazar-Korgon in Kyrgyzstan,[2] and Paxtaobod in Uzbekistan.
