    Offroad Nomad is a 13-day self-drive itinerary designed for 4x4 travel in Kyrgyzstan. It provides a structured route, daily driving guidance, and logistical support for the full journey.

    The itinerary covers mountain roads, valley routes, high passes, and remote unpaved sections. It includes a mix of long driving days, shorter transfer days, and selected free or flexible days. Each stage includes planned overnight stops in hotels, guesthouses, and traditional yurt camps.

    Support is provided through daily briefings with a tour manager, including information on road conditions, fuel availability, and connectivity. Some areas on the route have limited or no mobile network coverage, so key arrangements are discussed in advance.

    The program includes stops for walking, short hikes, horseback riding, and cultural activities depending on location and conditions. Certain sections of the route pass through remote areas where services are limited, so fuel and supplies are planned in advance through main towns along the route.

    The tour starts and ends in the capital city, where the vehicle is collected and returned according to the agreed procedure.

    Across the Tien Shan on Horseback is our signature horseback journey, designed for those who want to experience the true spirit of the mountains. Over ten days, you’ll travel across the wild landscapes of Kyrgyzstan — from high alpine passes to vast open valleys — guided by the rhythm of your horse and the traditions of nomadic life.

    From the green expanses of Suusamyr to the remote shores of Lake Son Kul and the blue waters of Lake Issyk Kul, each day brings a new horizon. You’ll ride through untouched valleys, cross high mountain passes above 3000 meters, and share moments with nomadic families living in yurts, far from modern life. Nights are spent under the stars, in tents or traditional yurts, surrounded by silence and nature.

    Our horses are carefully selected for endurance and comfort, perfectly adapted to long days in the mountains. Supported by an experienced local team, you can fully enjoy the journey — whether riding across rolling hills, following rivers, or climbing toward panoramic viewpoints.

    This adventure is made for travelers seeking authenticity, freedom, and connection with nature. It’s more than a trip — it’s a journey into the heart of nomadic Kyrgyzstan, where every day leaves a lasting impression.
