Description:
This horse riding tour takes you across the Barskoon gorge and Djuuka River, located at the southern part of the Issyk-Kul. This place has been untouched by civilization, thus you are given a chance to see the beauty of primordial nature: snow-capped mountains, virgin forests at their foot and mountain lakes with crystal clear water. Your journey takes you along the paths of the nomadic Kyrgyz, who drive their cattle to summer meadows (jailoo) from July till September. Throughout these days you experience different climatic zones - from semi-desert to tundra. On your way you will meet wild animals and birds, such as marmots, hares, foxes, falcons, and if lucky, even a bear.
Highlights:
Bishkek * Tamga * Chon Djergalchak Canyon * Djuuka Canyon * Dongurme Canyon *Barskoon Canyon
