Trip Description

We suggest that you do part of this magnificent route in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan not on foot but on horseback. You will go on a three-day horseback ride to the Sari-Tchelek Lake, enjoy all the beauties of the protected area of Tian Shan and at the same time not get tired at all, but on the contrary, replenish your resources, especially thanks to a lively and close communication with friendly horses. The second part of the tour will be filled with the discovery of the Ferghana Valley and excursions to its ancient towns: Osh, Marguilan, Richtan and Kokand. The circuit brings together the two types of holidays and the two countries - Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, starting in Osh and ending in Tashkent. This trip is designed for groups. You can join any composite group that suits you in terms of dates.
