This 9-day trek takes you to the heart of the Kyrgyz mountains to discover the alpine lake Son-Kul, a true gem perched at over 3,000 meters altitude. Accessible only from June to mid-September, this journey offers a complete immersion in nomadic culture. On horseback, you'll traverse verdant valleys, steep mountain passes, and vast summer pastures ( jailoos ), where shepherds set up their yurts and tend their flocks. Each stop provides an opportunity to share their daily life, savor traditional cuisine, and experience Kyrgyz hospitality.
The program includes several days of horseback riding, punctuated by stops at nomadic camps, allowing for gradual acclimatization and an authentic immersion. You'll admire breathtaking panoramas: snow-capped mountains, endless steppes, and the deep blue of Lake Son-Kul. Nights spent in yurts offer a unique experience, combining conviviality and simplicity in a pristine natural setting.
This tour is designed for horse and nature lovers, but remains accessible to beginner riders thanks to professional guidance and adapted stages. More than a sporting adventure, it's a cultural and human journey that immerses you in the soul of Kyrgyzstan and lets you experience the very essence of nomadism.
