Papan Reservoir
Папан суу сактагычы
A jade-green reservoir in a gorge about 25 km south of Osh, where red cliffs reflect in the lake, and rainbow trout is on the menu.
The reservoir was built in a gorge on the upper reaches of the Ak-Buura River. Viewpoints near the dam overlook the blue-green lake and reddish-brown cliffs, making it a popular weekend outing for Osh residents. In the Papan village area, several restaurants farm rainbow trout and grill it fresh from the water. It takes about 40 minutes by taxi from Osh, and it can be combined with Kyrgyz-Ata National Park on the same day. Swimming in the reservoir is prohibited.
