Getting There

Osh can be reached from Bishkek but it requires some real traveling. The road takes you over two 3000m (9840ft) plus passes, the road is rough, hair-raising and occasionally blocked by rockfalls and avalanches. Snow fills the passes from October-November until February-March; the road is kept open to cars, but is dangerous during these winter months. No regular buses traverse the whole route, so you'll need to change buses, probably at Toktogul.

It is probably easier to come her from the Ferghana Valley in Uzbekistan. But this option may require some extra paperwork.
