Bishkek

Embark on a 10-day nomad horse trekking expedition through the breathtaking Tian Shan Mountains showcasing the stunning landscapes and rich nomadic culture of Kyrgyzstan. Starting from the Shamshy Nature Sanctuary, home to diverse alpine wildlife – including a breeding snow leopard population -, through the yurt camps of Sarala-Saz – the “Yellow Swamp” -, to the shore steppes of Song-Kol Lake, this trip offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Throughout the expedition, nights are usually spent in heated tents or in the yurts of shepherd families along our path. The load will be carried by our horse caravan. You won’t need former experience in riding, these mountain horses are well-trained and you’ll soon get the hang of it. Shepherd families will invite us for traditional meals, but we’ll also be cooking under the open sky in hidden valleys and river basins.

Tours start with a minimum of 4 people.
