Explore Kyrghyz mountains with this 400 km ride througout Tien Shan range. Snow capped high plateaus, grandioses expanses of high steppe (called jaïloo) with many nomads camps watching their herds (mainly horses), steep passes, deep valleys arid canyons. Experiment rewarding contact with the inhabitants of this area who seldom meet foreigners. Discover their secular way of life, in complete harmony with the wonderful nature of their land. Wandering through silk road archeological remains suggest what was the ambiance at this amazing time. Daily stages are 5 to 6 hours. Many of our Kyrghyze horses can amble along, a very comfortable gait which enables you to stay in the saddle for hours without being tired.
Day 1 – Bichkek airport – Rot Front (Asiarando base).
From the airport, we take you to our base in the village of Rot Front, altitude 1100 m. The trip starts from this point. Rest the whole day, meet your guides and your horses.

Through high passes, canyons, torrents, you reach Son Kul lake 3000 m high, where you rest for one day. Then ride in the middle of the « jailoo » (summer high pasture). You pass Ala Too range and come back to starting point.
All along the trip (more or less 400 km), you meet nomadic people in their authentic yurta, share their meals and their everydays life. You can watch how they make their own bread, their yoghurt and traditional dishes. You’re also invited to see the famous central asian mounted game, Ulak Tartish, and, if you feel like it, you can even participate. Crossing villages, you also meet sedentary people and share the hard life of these families living in remote places, working in the fields, breeding cattle. No matter what life is for them, they are always smiling ! ! !.
On the way you can pick up medicinal herbs such as St John’s wort, marjoram, wild thyme, etc...
