Urgut is located in a mountainous area.

People in Urgut are a subgroup of ethnic Uzbeks who track their ancestry to people from a town of Urgut.

Urguti people are heavily involved in basic mercantile trading in their respective locations and in farming.

In the town craftsmanship is also well-known which has been maintained traditionally throughout the centuries.
