Things to Do in Osh
Starting points for your perfect trip
Sulaiman-Too Sacred Mountain
Ascend Kyrgyzstan’s only UNESCO site, sacred for at least 1,500 years. Explore caves with petroglyphs from 1500 BCE, visit the mosque where Mughal founder Babur performed his 40-day chilla retreat, and discover 17 pilgrimage sites where believers seek blessings for fertility and healing.
Pamir Highway Expedition
Begin the legendary M41 from Osh—one of the world’s highest highways. Cross the 3,615-meter Taldyk Pass into the Alay Valley, continue to Kyzyl-Art Pass at 4,250 meters at the Tajik border, and journey onward through Earth’s most spectacular high-altitude mountain terrain.
Alay Valley & Lenin Peak Base Camp
Trek the Pamir-Alay Mountains to Lenin Peak base camp at Achik-Tash, beneath one of the world’s most accessible 7,000-meter summits. Stay in yurt camps at Tulpar-Kol Lake, cross passes including Jiptick at 4,185 meters, and witness glaciers descending from Central Asia’s highest peaks.
Osh Bazaar & Culinary Immersion
Explore one of Central Asia’s oldest bazaars, occupying the same Ak-Buura River site for over 2,000 years. Learn to prepare Osh-style plov with devzira rice from Uzgen, sample tandoor-baked samsa, and discover where Kyrgyz and Uzbek culinary traditions have merged over centuries.
Uzgen Karakhanid Heritage Excursion
Journey 56 kilometers northeast to Uzgen, where an 11th-century Karakhanid minaret and three ornate mausolea survive from the dynasty that brought Islam to the Fergana Valley. The 27-meter tower is among the oldest standing structures in Kyrgyzstan, with intricate terracotta brickwork.
Sunday Livestock Market
Join traders from across the Fergana Valley at Osh’s weekly livestock market, where Kyrgyz herders in kalpak hats and Uzbek farmers trade horses, sheep, and cattle amid animated negotiation. This centuries-old tradition peaks in autumn as families prepare herds for winter.
