Question 1

Is the land border between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan open for travel?

Daniel · Accepted Answer

Yes. Uzbekistan’s borders with Kyrgyzstan are open for international visitors, making overland multi-country travel between the different countries straightforward. The Dostuk/Dustlik border checkpoint near Osh, Kyrgyzstan is the easiest way to cross into Uzbekistan from Kyrgyzstan. The border is open daily, often 24-hours a day, and is a simple process of going through Kyrgyz exit formalities and then walking a short distance to clear Uzbekistan passport control. Just have your passport and visa (if needed) ready.

After you clear the border, you can catch a shared taxi or bus to Andijan or another city in the Fergana Valley, which is an interesting stopping point before taking the train to Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, or other Silk Road destinations in Uzbekistan.

There is another international border crossing between Kensey – Uchkurgan that connects Jalal-Abad Region in Kyrgyzstan with Namangan Region in Uzbekistan. This might be useful if you want to travel to Uzbekistan after one of our Arslanbob Trekking or Horse Trek tours.

We can provide up-to-date guidance on border crossing procedures and even help arrange transport or drivers on either side if you are combining a Kyrgyzstan tour with travel in Uzbekistan.
