Horse Riding in Kyrgyzstan
Horses are still a working part of daily life in rural Kyrgyzstan, and horseback riding is one of the most authentic ways to reach the high pastures, jailoo camps and mountain valleys that vehicles can't get to. KB Travel includes horse riding in several routes and can arrange dedicated riding trips on request.
Where the Riding Happens
The Chon-Kemin valley, the high pastures around Son-Kul, and the mountains near Karakol are the most common riding areas — short rides of an hour or two, or full-day treks between yurt camps.
Who It's For
Short introductory rides suit complete beginners; multi-day horse trekking is more demanding and best suited to riders with at least some prior experience in the saddle.
