Incredible experience!... - Incredible experience! Highly recommend for quality services, comfortable travel, and those seeking adventure. Ali was a great guide for me and my friend and all of our stays with local families were authentic and fun. Even for first time horse riders, getting the hang of 4-5 hours each day was simple and the views are unmatched. The private transfers to the village and back were comfortable as well. Make sure to bring layers especially for the higher peaks as it gets cold.

Uofngatable experience - An unforgettable experience — highly recommended for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Kyrgyzstan, enjoy horse riding, and taste authentic local cuisine. Be aware that there’s no phone service for about two days, and a good level of physical fitness is required. Absolutely worth trying!

Amazing trekking experience into the Tian Shan! - Our horse trek was an amazing experience! From the beginning of the tour we were met with hospitality with a local homestay at Kyzart. After a comfortable stay we met our trekking guides who were very helpful in making sure we were comfortable on our horses, who were very well trained. Upon arriving at Song Kul, we had very warm yurts to camp in for the night and a delicious dinner and breakfast. Due to the high altitude, the lake is still frozen throughout the spring, yet it was just as peaceful as a getaway can be from the city. Coming down a different route, we were treated to more views of the mountains. Highly recommend this activity any time of the year!
