Tomchi Osmon Lake
A lake at 3,390 m between the Lozhny and Vasilyok passes. The Gorets list calls it unnamed, but OpenStreetMap has a name for it: Tomchi Osmon — "a drop of sky". The map marks it as seasonal, so it can dry out by late summer. The approach is a loop from the Badaksay pass: the community track measures 15.7 km between 3,024 and 3,476 m — one day of walking, but entirely above 3,000 m.
