Day 30, 29 June 2012 Chichkan to Osh

Today total distance traveled 234.8km






Osh is Kyrgyzstan’s second largest city and our gateway to Uzbekistan. Locals maintain that Osh is older than Rome. Osh have been a major hub on the Soilk Road from its earliest days.





The drive from Chichkan to Osh is a sequence of superlatives, taking us few highlands passes and through the Toktogul reservoir, down the deep Naryn River gorge and into the broad Fergana Valley.





We didn’t manage to visit any of the recommended sites in Osh especially the much anticipated “Solomon’s Throne” because our drive took us longer than expected.




Dinner was good at a local restaurant and we look forward for tomorrow challenging border crossing into Uzbekistan.
