- AlpineTrails.co.ukLondon, UK206 contributionsI'm not a religious person but was nice to find an Ortodox church in Asia.

- The World is My OysterOrlando, FL19,529 contributionsIt is not the ugliest thing ever, but really nothing special. It has a unique design, but it is pretty rudimentary.Written 18 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul C11 contributionsI've been this way a few times now, travelling to Osh, Jalal-Abad and Toktogul, and every time I cannot fail to be impressed by the scenery on the way. The Kyrgyz method of driving (overtake whatever is in front at any time) isn't for the faint hearted, and each time I've seen a number of wrecked vehicles. Caution is advisable! A steep climb on the north side, through the Too-Ashu pass, gives way to a slightly gentler descent on the south side where the view stretches out for what seems like infinity along the Suusamyr valley. Be sure to stop and get some of the local produce on the way through - the honey produced up in the Jailoo is particularly noteworthy, and comes in an array of colours depending on which flowers were in season at the time of production. Much of the road has been resurfaced since my previous trip, and work is ongoing to complete the rest, so the quality of travel has been greatly improved in the past year.
There is one caveat though - the trip through the tunnel is definitely NOT recommended for cyclists or hikers. Not only is there very little room when trucks are heading past, but the air quality in the unvented tunnel is genuinely dangerous. My Kyrgyz hosts informed me that several people died when their vehicle broke down and they attempted to walk. Even in a car with the windows up it's distinctly unpleasant for the few minutes it takes to get through.Written 30 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This is particularly so if you are not expecting them and just come across them through the crowd.Written 31 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
