Sulaiman Mountain. It is known as Suleyman-Too in Kyrgyz and Sulaymon-Togh in Uzbek. Suleyman’s mountain is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kyrgyzstan. Named after the Muslim prophet Sulaiman. It is the site of a shrine that is believed to mark his grave and is still a place of pilgrimage. Legend has it that that Sulaiman drove a plough in front of his advancing army, and when the team of oxen arrived at the mountain, he said, “Khosh!” (That’s enough), giving Osh its name.
