Situation in Arslanbob

Country forums / Central Asia / Kyrgyzstan

Has anyone been to Arslanbob since the riot in Osh? I'm currently in Kyrgyzstan and I'm hoping to spend a night or two in Arslanbob on my way down to Osh and the Pamir. Does anyone know if it's safe to go to Arslanbob?

Thank you.

If you're going to Osh, Arslanbob is of no concern. Just don't spend any more time than needed in Jalalabad

I'm actually thinking about spending maybe a day or two in Arslanbob and a little bit of hiking around the area. If that's not a safe thing to do, I might stay in northern Kyrgyzstan for a few more days and then head straight to Osh from Bishkek.

Just another quick note, I've met quite a few travellers who have been to Osh. However they all went straight through to Bishkek and didn't stop along the way.
