If you feel like exploring, you can drive about 3.5 hours south of Osh to the Alai (Alay) Valley for spectacular views of the Alai Range to the northwest and north and the Pamir Range, particularly Lenin Peak, to the south. If you travel east from here on A372, you will eventually reach Erkeshtam (Irkeshtam), the border station between Kyrgyzstan and Xinjiang Province of China. Or, going west, A372 will take you to Dushanbe, or considering that it is part of European Route E60, all the way to Brest on the Atlantic Ocean.

A nature reserve on the north face of the Alay Range. Established in 1992, but not developed. Hiking and sightseeing will require some planning, or possibly arranging a trip through a guide (e.g. Trip To Kyrgyzstan +996 550 541 670).
A waterfall where a subterranean river emanates from the cliff in a tight mountainous canyon. About 3 hours from Osh.
Blue and white church with a stone gate in front stemming from the early 20th century that is supposedly the only Russian church left in Osh after the demise of Soviet Union and events that followed.
Osh New Mosque
A mosque of notable statue with blue mosaic tiles that you can see before going up Mt Sulaiman. Tourists not really allowed in though.
Mavzoley Asaf Ibn Burkhiya
Interesting Islamic architecture at base of Mount Sulaiman, named after King Suleiman’s vizier.
A mountain looming over the city full of ancient sites of worship, some still in use, dating back several millennia. It is considered the most complete example of a Central Asian sacred mountain, and accordingly has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A cave in the mountain is the site of a museum containing a collection of archaeological, geological and historical finds and information about local flora and fauna. Also here is a very compact mosque/mausoleum tucked into the mountain called Dom Babura Mosque at the other end of the prominence. Overall it's a good place to have a hike and take in the views.
