buses to Kashgar from Osh via Irktesham pass

Hi i cant see the reply i wrote this morning so just in case it didnt send or you cant see it either, ive arrived in Osh this evening (after an excellent day seeing Arslanbob and Ozgon) and will stay a couple of nights i guess and hopefully leave early on Wednesday...but it would be great if our timing fitted so we could share a taxi to Kashgar! so will be looking out for your reply!

I have found out the bus from Osh to Kashgar goes Wednesdays and Sundays 18 hours to Kashgar for $85.
No idea yet what time they leave.
I think a taxi to the border and another from the border to Kashgar could be like 6 hours quicker than the bus. My hotel is going to ring the taxi driver that they usually recommend and see what his price is.

Hi, thanks a lot - that helps a lot. Sorry for the late answer, i was on the way to Bishkek and couln"t really answer. Unfortunately I won't make it, this week. Right now, i am considering going straight to Urumqi from here, which is sad but anyway. Again, thanks a lot and good luck ;)

Okay glad to hear from you tonight - i flew from Urumqi to Almaty and then share taxi to Bishkek.
I had an excellent driver for the day when i was in Bishkek to go out to the Burana tower and Al-archa canyon - enjoyed both places. You could ring Hotel Soluxe if you wanted to get hold of him. Hes a lot cheaper than others apparently - i thought he was pretty cheap too.
He then rang for a taxi driver when i wanted a share taxi but to buy the 3 back seats and arranged him to come and pick me up from my hotel rather than me go to the share taxi place and front all the touts and higher prices when they see foreigners....so all that went really in my favour.
and then that driver as he lives in Jalal-Abad also gave me a good deal to take me from JA to Arsalonbob - which was a brilliant visit, Uzgen and Osh.
anyway a bit of info in case it helps you decide whether to come down further this way.
Good luck to your travel directions too :)
