Get in

Shared taxis depart when full from Osh, taking about 5 hours and costing 1000 som when not crossing the Uzbek enclave. As the main road between Osh and Batken passes through a small bit of Uzbekistan, remember to ask the driver to go around if you do not have an Uzbek visa in addition to a multiple entry Kyrgyz visa.
