It is hard to overstate how breath-taking and jaw-dropping the landscape, scenery and terrain is in the Osh Region, as its humongous snow-capped mountains tower over vast expanses and huge tracts of rocky canyons and green fields. The wide open spaces seemingly stretch on forever, punctuated only by lush coloured lakes and lagoons.
