Sulaiman-Too, Sacred mountain in Osh, Kyrgyzstan.

The limestone formation rises 200 meters above the surrounding landscape with five distinct domes stretching over 1140 meters in length at 1110 meters elevation.

The mountain served as a crucial landmark on the Silk Road, mentioned in ancient texts by Claudius Ptolemy and other historical figures through centuries.

The mountain contains seventeen ritual locations where religious pilgrims perform ceremonies, with many caves and grottoes holding petroglyphs from different periods.

The ascent takes approximately thirty minutes on foot, and visitors should bring water as there are no facilities or shade available during the climb.

The National Historical Museum complex, established in Soviet times, occupies several caves within the mountain, displaying artifacts from the 11th century onward.
