I arrived in Osh after a long day of hitchhiking from the Susamyr Valley. It took several hours on the road, connecting with various transportation options and hitchhiking, until I finally reached this city in southern Kyrgyzstan. Osh is the second largest city in the country and one of the oldest in Central Asia, but despite its historical significance, I must say it didn't leave a great impression on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its historical value and its importance as a transit hub in the south of the country, my experience in Osh was somewhat lukewarm. I found the city to be lacking in charm and lacking in many things to do. Still, there are some interesting places to visit and spend at least a day there if you're crossing into or out of Uzbekistan, or as a jumping-off point for heading toward the Pamirs or the Fergana Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n
