If you prefer to walk, start from the central area of Osh and head towards the north along the main road. You can ask locals for directions to the park. It may take about 1.5 to 2 hours on foot. Follow the signs that lead towards Bishkek, and you will eventually find Kara-Jygach Park on your right. Be sure to keep hydrated and wear comfortable shoes.
