Osh travel guide
Sulaiman-Too, a great bazaar and the end of the Pamir Highway.
Osh is one of the oldest cities in Central Asia and the main city of southern Kyrgyzstan. At its centre rises Sulaiman-Too, a rocky mountain revered for centuries and listed by UNESCO.
Osh is the northern end of the Pamir Highway and close to the Uzbek border at Andijan, so it links the Fergana Valley with the Pamirs.
