We left Osh around 8 AM for another breathtaking ride over the mountains. The ride through the built up areas was just as we were expecting. Half of the drivers were patient, and the other half in a mad rush and taking risks like there was no tomorrow. It was a welcome relief to actually get onto the unsealed road and away from the traffic.
Life out in the mountains never seems to be a rush like the city. People are often gathered around having a chat or are out in the fields tending the animals and crops. Even the young children help out with the chores.
Our lunch stop was only 20 km down a dirt road. Just before we stopped a young lad was standing with his donkey. Actually that should read standing on his Donkey. His balance was impeccable and the donkey was happy just to graze while we took photos.
Lunch was some fresh bread with a freshly prepared Tuna, bean and corn salad with some watermelon. The setting was idyllic with a stream running alongside and a herd of horses coming for a drink.

With lunch out of the way it was time for some serious riding through the mountain pass. At first, the road was gently winding and following the river. Then without any inclination, a series of switchbacks took us higher and higher until we were riding through the snow capped peaks.
Everytime you think you have taken a stunning picture, there is a better one around the next corner.
Photographs dont do justice to the scenery you can see in this amazing country.
After an awesome 8 hours on the road we arrived at our homestay in Kazarman. Our host was extremely welcoming and her English was vert good. Our rooms are good and comfortable. Our meals were included and were delicious.
We can highly recommend CBT homestay Kazarman.
