Travel to Ferghana Valley (Kyrgyzstan)

Osh#Get in|Osh Airport has international flights and a domestic connection with Bishkek.

Get Around

To get to Chon-Alai take a marshrutka or shared taxi from Osh. You can contact Abdulla, a local, which is apparently starting a tour agency (his WhatsApp is +996 777021172). But hitch-hiking might be the more economical and faster option.

By bike

The road between Bishkek and Osh goes over two passes of about 3,600 m above sea level. At the Тео-Ашуу pass near Bishkek and there is a 2 kilometers long tunnel. It may be a good idea to try to hitch a lift in a vehicle through the tunnel. But there is also a trail over the mountain ridge. Which however is almost imfeasible with heavy bicycles, because the trail on the northern side of the mountain is blocked by some landslides—manageable on foot though.
