Rules in force · 3
  • Kyrgyzstan ↗Check entry rules on the official e-visa portal only; many nationalities enter without a visa for a limited stay, others need an e-visa.
  • Kyrgyzstan ↗Carry Kyrgyz som in small notes; markets, minibuses and taxis are cash-first, and cards are widely accepted only in Bishkek shops and hotels.
  • Kyrgyzstan ↗Most Manas arrivals are at night: message your hotel with your flight number and ask for a driver or a fixed fare before you fly.

Osh is Kyrgyzstan's second city and one of Central Asia's oldest. Sulaiman-Too, a sacred mountain in the city, is UNESCO-listed, and the large bazaar is its main draw. It is also the starting point for the Pamir Highway.
