Going down we were talking with Greg and I was gathering a good smelling herb - Oregano. It's very good for the tea in the winter time. Oregano or Pot Marjoram (Origanum vulgare) is a species of Origanum, native to Europe, the Mediterranean region and southern and Central Asia. It is a perennial herb, growing to 20-80 cm tall, with opposite leaves 1-4 cm long. The flowers are purple, 3-4 mm long, produced in erect spikes. Its name derives from the Greek origanon [ὀρίγανον]: oros [ὄρος] “mountain” + the verb ganousthai [γανοῦσθαι] “delight in”. Behind us is Kashka-Suu valley going to the left, where popular ski base Karakol is situated.
