Endless mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and a journey on horseback.
This 5-day, 4-night riding adventure lets you fully experience the nature and culture of Kyrgyzstan.
The stage is Kyrgyz nature, which transforms completely with the seasons:
In spring, new life awakens.
In summer, the breeze of the lakeshore.
In autumn, golden mountains.
And in winter, serene snow-covered landscapes.
Even along the same routes, the journey feels entirely different depending on the time of year.
No worries if it’s your first time riding.
Local staff will carefully teach you the basics of the Kyrgyz riding style, starting with easy, slow-paced routes so you can join with confidence.
The journey also includes plenty of cultural encounters—making traditional fried bread boorsok, visiting the UNESCO-listed Burana Tower, and browsing local markets for souvenirs.
Surrounded by Kyrgyz mountains and lakes,
just walking with a horse is enough to gently untangle your heart.
