Sulaiman-Too Sacred Mountain
Сулайман-Тоо
A five-peaked stone mountain rising in the heart of Osh, a millennium-old pilgrimage site for both Islamic and pre-Islamic traditions, and Kyrgyzstan's first World Heritage Site.
Sulaiman-Too is about 1.1 kilometers long and was inscribed as the Sulaiman-Too Sacred Mountain World Heritage Site in 2009. The mountain holds rock carvings, prayer stones, caves and small mosques. Locals believe that rubbing the smooth rocks can heal illness and help couples conceive. From the steps on the east side, it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to reach the main peak, where Babur's Hut stands, with views over the whole city and the Fergana Valley. Entry to the mountain is free, the museum charges a fee, and sturdy non-slip shoes are recommended.
