Get in

Traveling to Sary-Moghul from Osh is conveniently possible through various direct transports. These transports pass through Sary-Tash, a charming town nestled in the heart of the region. The journey to Sary-Moghul is a breeze, either by hopping on a shared transport or hitchhiking on the well-maintained A371 road. If you're coming all the way from China, you can head straight to Sary-Moghul via Sary-Tash. It's important to note that the Karamyk-border with Tajikistan, located at the west-end of the valley, is closed to foreigners since 2014, making the A371 a thrilling dead end adventure. For those seeking a more convenient option, there is a daily marshrutka departing from the parking area under the bridge close to the lively bazaar and old bus station. With a fare of only 500KZS per person, including your trusty backpack, this is an excellent choice for explorers like you!

Popular Foods

Kyrgyzstan's national dish is called "Plov," also known as "Osh." It is a hearty traditional rice pilaf made with marinated beef, chickpeas, and various vegetables such as carrots, onions, and garlic. The ingredients are cooked together in a large pot until the rice is tender and fully absorbed the flavors of the other components. Plov is often served with additional meat on the side.

Another popular dish in Kyrgyzstan is "Kumis." This alcoholic beverage is made by fermenting horse milk and is typically consumed during special occasions or festivals. Kumis has a slightly sour taste and can vary in alcohol content depending on how long it has been fermented.

A favorite snack among Kyrgyz people is "Et Uch", which translates to "raw meat salad." This dish consists of finely minced raw beef seasoned with spices such as garlic, onion, and pepper. The meat mixture is then accompanied by diced onions, tomatoes, and peppers, which provide a vibrant medley of colors and textures alongside the meat. Et Uch is traditionally eaten with a type of flatbread called "non."
