Historical complex of Uzgen

In the heart of southern Kyrgyzstan, the ancient town of Uzgen invites travelers to step into a lesser-known chapter of the Silk Road. Overlooking the fertile Kara-Darya valley, this historic complex once stood at the crossroads of trade, culture, and belief. Today, it remains one of the most atmospheric heritage sites in the country—quiet, authentic, and deeply rooted in Central Asia’s past.​

At the crossroads of Afghanistan’s major northern routes—linking Kabul, Kunduz, and Mazar-i-Sharif—lies Puli Khumri, a vibrant provincial capital rarely explored by travelers but rich in local life and character. With over 220,000 inhabitants, it ranks among the country’s ten largest cities, offering a unique window into Afghanistan’s industrial and cultural evolution.

Central market of Kyzyl Suu

In 1932, Ella Maillart, a Swiss adventurer, describes the market of Kyzyl Suu, formerly Pakrovka, in her book "From the Celestial Mountains to the Red Sands". She makes a last supply before leaving to search for the basmatchis who were hiding in the Tien Shan mountains. The market is in the centre of the village on the main road south of Lake Issyk Kul.

You can find everything here, but the main reason for coming is fresh bread, meat, fruit, vegetables and dairy products.
