Traveling with a trusted local guide: who can accompany me?
I recommend you contact my friend Azamat, a local French-speaking guide whom I have known for years.
He offers tailor-made tours and treks in Kyrgyzstan.
Can I join a group for a horseback riding trip in Kyrgyzstan?
Yes. With his equestrian guides, Azamat has set up groups with fixed dates, allowing riders to easily join the same trek.
What types of treks are available?
There are two distinct formats:
-
an accessible horseback trek, with nights spent in yurts, to discover nomadic life around Song-Kul;
-
A more challenging horseback trek in the high mountains, with nights spent in tents, for riders seeking adventure.
