Abshir-Ata Waterfall
Абшир-Ата шаркыратмасы
A unusual waterfall that gushes from the middle of a steep rock face. Set in a gorge with a health resort and springs, it is a popular day trip from Osh.
The waterfall lies deep in the Abshir-Sai gorge in Nookat District. Water pours from an opening in a rock wall about 40 metres high, which locals regard as a holy spring. It is about a 15-minute walk from the car park, and there is a yurt restaurant and a sanatorium nearby. It is about 75 km from Osh, roughly 2 hours by car, and the final stretch is mountain road, so hiring a car is recommended. Local visitors are numerous on summer weekends.
