Kyrgyzstan is a hidden corner of Central Asia—wild mountains, blue lakes, and a living nomadic culture.
It’s my home. I grew up in Great Britain from the age of nine, but returning to travel across these mountains reignited a deep connection to the land. These tours are my way of sharing that rediscovery.
We specialize in authentic adventures: horse riding, yurt stays, and crossing high-mountain passes. We take small groups into the remote wilderness that few travellers ever see.
Ride from Kyzart through the Kilemche valley and over the 3,500 m Tuz-Ashuu Pass to the high shores of Son-Kul. This tour includes all meals, horses, and authentic overnight stays in family yurts. A perfect short 3 day immersion into the nomadic life of the Kyrgyz mountains.
In spring the mountains are still snowy while the valleys turn green. This tour focuses on a multi-day horse trek to Son-Kul, yurt stays at 3,000 m and a journey into the wild hot springs of the Altyn-Arashan valley. Villas, a day in a private spa, and nomadic horse game demonstrations are included
Our summer season offers three different itineraries with a mix of off-road driving and horse riding days. Travel between Son-Kul, Ala-Kul and Kel-Suu, staying in yurts and guesthouses. Villas, a day in a private spa, and nomadic horse game demonstrations are included
