Chil-Ustun Cave
Чил-Устун үңкүрү
A stalactite cave in limestone mountains about 25 km west of Osh, said to contain 'forty pillars'. A local guide is required.
The name of the cave means 'forty pillars'. Inside are multiple stone halls, stalactites and stalagmites, and some sections require climbing. The barren rocky mountains outside the cave are also great for photography. There are no formal tourist facilities or lighting, so you must bring a headlamp, and it is best to hire a driver or guide who knows the roads. Tracks become muddy after rain. It is well suited to visitors who want to explore Osh's natural scenery on a half-day round trip.
