This 2-week tour is for people who like horse riding but have not got enough experience yet. A group consists of 3-6 people and 8-12 horses. There will be 2-4 good guides and an English-speaking interpreter is also present. You will sleep mostly in yurts in our yurt camps and two nights with a local family. You should bring along a sleeping bag, isomat, warm clothes and raincoat. Seven days you will be on horseback about 5-6 hours. You ride through green pastures along old animal tracks, sometimes using a dirt road. A good physical condition is necessary. Do not expect luxury, you live the life of Kyrgyz nomads. The average altitude is about 2.000 m.
Everything is included in the tour price with the exception of the flight, visa and bottled beverages. A visa can be obtained easily upon arrival at the airport in Bishkek. The price of the flight depends on the company you are flying with and the date of booking. Until the end of 2011 it is possible to buy a two way ticket for about 480 euro.
