    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.
