Horse Riding Experience
Beginners are welcome. We match horses to riders and start with shorter distances.

Our guides carry a first-aid kit and know the routes. Some areas have no signal; the guide keeps in touch with the base where possible.

Responsible Travel
We work with local families in At-Bashy and Naryn, use local horses and camps, and take all rubbish back from the mountains.
