Osh in Kyrgyzstan boasts Silk Road history with a dash of adventure travel making it a perfectImagine a place that has their nomadic cultures intact and where it is known to be one of the oldest cities along the Silk Road, almost 3,000 years old: this is Osh, a gateway to Central Asia’s culture and cuisine. I spent one month in Kyrgyzstan experiencing different modes of transportto hiking and taking their local taxis while living with the locals in their yurts.
Osh is specifically the second-largest after Bishkek and it takes you through some of the most remote corners of the world including stunning mountain passes, bustling bazaars, access to the Lenin Peak Base Camp and walnut forests in Arslanbob. It is almost impossible to break your bank here as you can live with a nomadic family in their opulent circular yurts, a legacy of Genghis Khan for as low as $15 a night. The city has many historic footnotes that make you wonder about what it was like for merchants, traders and commoners to wander these inhospitable places and carry along goods, ideas and a variety of languages.
Visiting Uttarakhand sealed my vision of a place blessed with high mountains surrounded by forests of pine, deodar, rhododendron trees and even the Chandrashila peak, also known as ‘Moon Rock’ and the highest Shiv temple in the world. It was a place where it was possible to travel cheaply, see beautiful mountains and even meet everyday people who came here for the Switzerland-like views.

I know the difference between what’s merely expensive and what deserves its high price tag.

I’ve shared that wisdom with readers of Forbes, Departures, Conde Nast Traveller, Robb Report, Afar, National Geographic Traveler, Islands, Hemispheres, Brides, Modern Bride, Luxury SpaFinder, Well Good NYC, and other print and online publications.
