🐎 Horseback riding tour in Kyrgyzstan
👥 Only for 6-7 people in a group

Once a year I gather a small but special group for a trip that will remain in the heart forever.

This is your chance to live 9 days like real nomads:
🌿 cross mountain passes on horseback,
🏕 spend the night in yurts,
🔥 warm yourself by the fire under the starry sky,
🏞 see untouched nature - from alpine meadows and lakes to mysterious canyons and hot springs.

And you will also enjoy a show program:
🦅 Golden eagle hunting show – feel the power of ancient traditions,
🏹 Archery and horseback shooting,
🏕 Yurt museum with stories of ancestors,
📸 Trying on national costumes and a photo session – to take with you not only memories, but also beautiful pictures.

This will be a week of freedom, adventure and inspiration, where you will discover Kyrgyzstan through traditions, nature and the real life of nomads.

💫 Your guide on this journey is Damir.

We offer unique tours that allow you to experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of Kyrgyzstan. Our story began in 2013, when my twin boys were born. We soon learned that our children had signs of autism, and I knew that I needed to make a change in my life to better support their needs. After much reflection, I decided to leave my career in finance and start my own business - one that would not only allow me to spend more time with my boys but also create a company that would be meaningful to them. Thank you for considering us for your next adventure. We look forward to sharing our love of travel with you and your family.
