For hundreds of years, it has served as a central point on the silk road and was the first exit point from China, where merchants from East and West met. Two ethnic groups coexist in Osh – the Kyrgyz and the Uzbeks, who preserve their ancient culture through their food, dress, and religion. We will visit the Suleiman Too Mountain, UNESCO’s world heritage site that has served for 1500 years as a pilgrimage site, mainly for women who believe that praying on the mountain will increase their chances of giving birth to healthy children. We will visit an underground museum, then continue to the local Jayma Bazaar. If time permits, we will visit the Cathedral of the Archangel Michael, and the main square of Osh, towered over by the 25-meter statue of Lenin.
