A morning walk through a three-thousand-year-old city: the climb up the sacred mountain of Sulaiman-Too and Jayma Bazaar with samsa from the tandoor.

Osh is older than Rome, and you feel it best early in the morning on Sulaiman-Too. We climb the pilgrims' path to Babur's House, look at the city from above and visit the cave museum, which keeps finds from all over the Fergana Valley. Then we go down to Jayma Bazaar, one of the oldest on the Silk Road. Here we try hot samsa from the tandoor, dried fruit and Uzgen rice, and learn to bargain. I will explain how the bazaar works and introduce you to sellers I have known for many years. A short, packed tour and a great start to getting to know the south.
