#holidayitinerary Osh is one of Kyrgyzstan’s oldest and most fascinating cities, often called the cultural capital of the country. The city has a relaxed and welcoming vibe, with a mix of history, tradition, and everyday life.

#asiabudgetchallenge The Pamir Highway is one of the most remote, rugged, and mind-blowing road trips you can take. I joined a shared jeep from Dushanbe and traveled through high desert plateaus, blue lakes, and villages near the Afghan border. We stayed in homestays, ate home-cooked plov, and crossed mountain passes over 4,000 meters. It’s not luxurious — but it’s wild and unforgettable. 📍Destination: Pamir Highway, Tajikistan 💸Rough Budget: $50(shared jeep, food, guesthouses) 💡Top Tip: Bring cash and altitude meds — ATMs are rare and the elevation is no joke.

#asiabudgetchallenge Osh is the second-largest city in Kyrgyzstan, but it feels more like a relaxed mountain town. It’s a cultural mix of Uzbek, Kyrgyz, and Persian influences — and it shows in the food, architecture, and markets. I climbed Solomon’s Throne, a sacred hill with panoramic views, and wandered around Jayma Bazaar trying everything from samsas to fresh apricots. It’s a great base for southern Kyrgyzstan adventures. 📍Destination: Osh, Kyrgyzstan 💸Rough Budget: $25/day (hostel, food, taxis) 💡Top Tip: Visit the bazaar early in the morning for the freshest produce and liveliest energy.

Osh Shanghai City Hotel is a convenient place to stay. The front desk can speak Chinese and can exchange US dollars, which is very convenient.

🤡All the way from Xinjiang to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and then to Kyrgyzstan, you must visit the bazaar in every city🐾. In addition to the fireworks, Kyrgyzstan’s bazaars also have 1⃣️unique Kyrgyzstan 🐏sheep felt hat pictures, 2⃣️super cheap 10 som of kvass, 3⃣️aroma (perfume under the robe) and smoke (a kind of pine branches burned to remove diseases), and 4⃣️high-quality 🐝honey🍯, the charm and fright of the headscarf. You can still find different characteristics of Kyrgyzstan. 🍃I woke up naturally and went to a bazaar to look for food. The Jayma bazaar in Osh was so big and taxing on my legs🦵. I felt tired before I left. I rested at a teahouse by the river first. I originally wanted to eat grilled fish🐟, but ended up coming up. I ordered a fried fish, it was not delicious, the tea was broken and had no tea flavor, everyone can avoid the lightning😨 🌱I replenished my energy and continued to wander around the bazaar. The first thing that caught my attention was the 🐏hat💕Karpak, which is the most common thing to see in the bazaar. There are also women's pointed hats with feathers, which are also very beautiful. 🧐Looking for Kalpak For the Kyrgyz people, the white sheep felt hat protects them from wind and cold in winter and protects them from the sun in summer. It is not only a necessity in life, but also a symbol of the national spirit. Made of wool felt, the top of the hat is square, decorated with beads and tassels, and the lower edge of the hat is inlaid with black velvet. There is an opening on the left and right sides of the hat, which is turned up. It is exquisitely made and reveals the strong flavor of the grassland nation. style. White means purity, and the hat has four sides, representing the four elements of air, water, fire, and earth. The tassel symbolizes prosperity and endless life. It is written in the heroic epic of Kyrgyzstan "Manas" that Kyrgyzstanis are people wearing Kalpac felt hats. When a boy reaches the age of 12, he must hold a hat-wearing ceremony. The ancestors of the Kyrgyz people believed that 12 years is a human life cycle. They implanted this concept into the production of "Karpak", that is, the age groups are divided according to the age of 12. The hats of each age group have different color combinations and decorative stripes. The difference. It must be worn on important events and festivals.

🎏Osh is the second-largest city in Kyrgyzstan, a border city adjacent to Uzbekistan, China's Xinjiang, and Tajikistan. With a 3000-year history as an ancient Silk Road city, it claims to be even older than Rome. Due to the high proportion of Uzbek population, there have been ethnic conflicts more than once, but currently, this land is relatively peaceful. 🐾Strolling through Osh, from the Osh National Drama Theater to Lenin Square, the Soviet-style legacy is very prominent. 1⃣️The mosaic outside the Osh National Drama Theater named after S. Ibraimov is very likable😍, and the small sculpture park at the entrance is also a good place for daily relaxation, a great spot to have a drink🍺, snack on sunflower seeds, and chat. 2⃣️This city has many Olympic elements, and people here love sports. I even encountered Chinese strength (Chinese brand sportswear). 3⃣️Lenin welcomes everyone to the central square, inviting guests from afar to stay. 4⃣️The vegetation in Toktogul Park next to Lenin Square is very lush. In the evening, the most popular place in the park is the small castle, which sells cold drinks🥤 and ice cream🍦. There are also kebabs nearby, and in the evening, it becomes a paradise for children. Overall, Osh is lush🌿 with blooming flowers🌸, making the temperature comfortable. Say goodbye to the heat🥵 of Uzbekistan and come to Kyrgyzstan to escape the summer heat.

"I'm sharing the last winter photos, and soon I'll be heading towards warmer destinations! Today, I woke up thinking that the two best years of my life were 2019 and 2021 because I traveled the most during these years. Five years' worth of emotions and experiences. Of course, I'd like 2022 to be just as amazing, but right now, planning anything is challenging. All trips seem to cost around 2 times more than before. Which countries did you visit in the past year? My list includes Mexico, Morocco, Costa Rica, Turkey, Greece, Maldives, UAE, Kyrgyzstan, Bulgaria, Belarus, Armenia, Seychelles, Slovenia, Serbia, and Egypt."

I went to Osh, Kyrgyzstan's equivalent of Osaka. The atmosphere was a little different from Bishkek. Prices were low, there was lots of nature, and it was a relaxing and fun place. The big samsa is the best, so be sure to try it 🇰🇬 #Kyrgyzstan #Osh #CentralAsia #Nature #Gourmet
