However, it was almost bankrupted when a luxurious US$50,000 yurt...

　　Winding 10km up a dirt road off the Kazarman–Chaek highway, brilliant Ak-Köl lake reflecting the surrounding peaks and the village beyond are a real delight. Originally established as a psychiatric ward (the runs of which can be seen on the far lake shore) and later converted to a lead mine...

Osh Animal Market

　　If you're in Osh on a Sunday morning, hundreds of sheep, donkeys, horses and cattle go on sale at this traditional livestock market. Some may find the conditions of the animals here distressing. To get there, hop on marshrutka 105 or bus 5 to the routes' eastern terminus. ...

　　Stretching south along the river from where the bazaar ends, leafy Navoi Park is a favourite local hang-out. Highlights inside include a gaming area where ak-sakal (white-beard) elders play chess, and a Yak 40 airplane decommissioned during Soviet times to serve as an oddball theatre and now as shade for...
