Two Cities, One Silk Road
Tour Overview
An 8-day crossing of Kyrgyzstan from north to south, linking the capital Bishkek with Osh, the country's ancient Silk Road hub in the Fergana Valley. The route climbs out of Bishkek over the Too-Ashuu Pass into the open grasslands of the Suusamyr Valley, skirts the Toktogul Reservoir, and descends into the orchards and bazaars of the south before reaching Osh, one of Central Asia's oldest continuously inhabited cities.
In Osh, days are spent climbing the sacred Sulaiman-Too mountain, wandering the sprawling Silk Road bazaar, and venturing out to the walnut forests of Arslanbob before a short domestic flight returns you to Bishkek for a final night. Nights alternate between city hotels, a guesthouse or yurt camp on the Suusamyr plateau, and comfortable stays in Osh.
