Azema is a Kyrgyz friend who loves to share the folklore and traditions of her country. Since the creation of the World Nomadic Games in 2014, she has seen a lot of interest in the traditions of her country. She understands that many travellers would like to attend this event but cannot.

Therefore, herself and her father have created in their home village the perfect programme to discover the traditional games and folklore of Kyrgyzstan.

Major advantage: this excursion was created in July 2019, it takes place in an area where there are few tourists. The game of Kok Boru is organised by the locals whether there are tourists or not. It is therefore an authentic event that was not made especially for tourism:

That's why it's only possible to attend twice a week.

Simply enter your contact details, the number of participants and the date you would like to go on the tour. She will contact you to confirm your booking.
