April to June and September to October are the easiest periods: days of 20C to 28C, a comfortable climb of Sulaiman-Too and, in September, markets full of melons, grapes and walnuts. In July and August the valley passes 30C and the climb is done early in the morning or late in the afternoon; these months are the best time for the Alay Valley to the south and the high mountain roads. Winter is cold and at times snowy, and mountain passes can close. Nowruz on 21 March is the city's busiest festival.
Things to do in Osh
Sulaiman-Too Sacred Mountain
The five peaked rocky mountain rising from the middle of the city has been held sacred since before Islam and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2009; UNESCO describes it as the most complete example of a sacred mountain in Central Asia. Its slopes carry numerous petroglyphs, old places of worship and rock hollows linked to beliefs about healing and fertility, and prayer rags tied to the branches are still seen today. A stepped path reaches the top in half an hour, and from above the whole of Osh and the mountains to the south are visible. Late afternoon light is the best.
Sulaiman-Too National Historical and Archaeological Museum
The museum with its concrete facade set into the mouth of a natural cave on the mountainside opened in 1978 for the city's three thousandth anniversary; the institution itself was founded in 1949 as the Osh Regional Museum. Inside are Bronze Age finds from the Fergana Valley, the rock art of the mountain, objects of Kyrgyz nomadic life and natural history sections. The rock of the cave is left exposed as the walls of the halls. It sits on the path to the summit, and an hour is enough.
Babur's House
The small stone building on the highest peak of Sulaiman-Too is associated with the cell and prayer room built by Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire, in his youth; Babur describes Osh and this mountain in his memoirs. The present building was rebuilt in the late 20th century and, as the emblem of the mountain, is visible from all over the city. The flat ground in front of it offers the widest view of Osh and the Fergana Valley; pilgrims pray here, and the queue for photographs grows longer in the late afternoon.
Rabat Abdullah Khan Mosque
The mosque at the northern foot of Sulaiman-Too is thought to have been built around 1580, in the reign of the Shaybanid ruler Abdullah Khan II, and is the oldest mosque in Osh. In the Soviet period it was used as a store, it was handed to the museum in 1963 and after a restoration completed in 1990 it became a Friday mosque again. Its brick and gypsum plaster work and simple courtyard make a good start to the climb. Entry is free, it is not visited at prayer times and women cover their heads.
Kurmanjan Datka Monument
The equestrian statue in the centre of Osh, where Masaliev and Kara-Suu streets meet, depicts Kurmanjan Datka (1811 to 1907), who ruled the Alay Kyrgyz in the 19th century. She took over the government of the region after the death of her husband Alymbek Datka, is remembered as the Queen of the South and is known for accepting Russian rule so that no more of her people's blood would be shed. The city's main north to south avenue also bears her name. The statue fits easily into the same day as the walk up Sulaiman-Too.
Uzgen Minaret and Karakhanid mausoleums
Uzgen, about 50 kilometres north east of Osh, was one of the capitals of the Karakhanids. The 11th century brick minaret now stands 27.5 metres tall; its uppermost section was added in 1923 and 1924. The three mausoleums next to it, with their carved terracotta and brick decoration, are among the finest Karakhanid work in Central Asia. The town is also known for the red Uzgen rice used in pilaf. It is an hour by car from Osh and fits into a half day trip.
