Day 10

Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to Osh, Kyrgyzstan to Marg’ilon, Uzbekistan

Took a morning flight from BSZ to OSS. Very smooth and easy. If only my local airport could get bags from the plane to baggage claim this fast!

Osh city is more than 3,000 years old. We were told it is 54% Uzbek people, 41% Kyrgyz, and the rest are Korean, Uyghur, etc

Some snapshots from the van

In Osh we went up Solomon Mountain where there is a museum and pilgrimage site.

Views as we walk from the museum to the Holy Site.

“Apartment buildings are going up like mushrooms after rain.” – our local guide

Babur founded the Mughal Empire. He prayed for victory in battle so fervently that the imprint of his hands and knees are in the rock.
