Title Image: Ala-Bell Pass- On the road to Osh vendors gather to sell honey products in the lush hills of the Ala-Too range.
The road from the Kyrgz capital city of Bishkek to the country’s southern capital of Osh is an unforgetable journey that brings travelers through the Ala-Too mountain range to the lush and fertile lands of the Ferghana Valley. Among the melting snow Kyrgyz gather along the road side to sell fermented mares milk and kurut. In the south children block the road selling fresh produce, the most popular of which is rhubarb.
During this 12 hour journey through high mountain passes and sharp cut backs partially blocked by landslides, one gets a true taste of the diversity within Kyrgyzstan.
Lovely work!
