Horse riding at Issyk Kul Lake

A loop following Scythian's kurgans

Two days of easy ride on sand and dirty roads from the village of Kyzyl Suu, chef-lieu of the Jeti Oguz district, to Issyk Kul lake and back. On the way, we can observe kurgans, which are still keeping their secrets. But the spot of this program is the sandy and wild beaches of Kyzyl Suu and the hot sources.

    Very reliable company and very helpful staff. The trip was tailor made and ended up as an open group tour with Mirbek as a guide. I can totally recommend Nomads Land. The trip was amazing and I have nothing to complain about.

    With the help of Nomad's Land we had one of the most unforgettable trips of our lives this winter. Starting in Bishkek we headed east towards Karakol where our adventure was set to start. We spent 10 days exploring the region surrounding Issyk Kul and Song-Kul, crossing valleys, streams and mountains on horseback with our wonderful guide Mikel. The experiences we had during our trip would not have been possible without the network and organization of Nomad's Land. Within a week of our trip ending we have already started to look at the other trips they have to offer and will definitely travel with them again in the future. While traveling in the winter is not always the easiest, the trip we had was certainly rewarding. If you are up for the challenge, Kyrgyzstan in the winter is a special experience that more people should consider!
