Horseback riding tour is a very special kind of journey. First of all it is the most environmentally friendly form of tourism, which gives the opportunity to visit various corners of our beautiful Kyrgyzstan and enjoy its nature. Most of the routes are intended for people without any prior training in horsemanship. Experienced instructors carry out the necessary training by specially developed programs. After training a tourist gets skills to care for a horse, to saddle and harness it, control it. Usually, the romance of riding complemented by spending the night in tents, campfire smoke, and camp food.
We offer excellent horseback riding vacations for singles and couples!
