Daroot-Korgon (also Daraut-Kurghan or Darautkorgon or Daroot-Qurghan) is a village in the western Alay Valley of Osh Region, Kyrgyzstan.
To the north is a route to Osh via the Tengizbay pass, used by Russian explorers before the construction of the road though Sary-Tash.
At the head of the valley is a Tajik border post and then Altyn Mazar on the river Muksu which flows west to join the Kyzyl-Suu.
Aurel Stein suggested that this was the location of the "Stone Tower" that Ptolemy in his famous treatise Geography wrote as the place where caravans from the Chinese and Roman Empires met and exchanged goods.
