About the tour

Enjoy a new experience with all comfort. This vacation is perfect for those seeking the mountains and cultural tour. The program is also suitable for those seeking a longer stay in Uzbekistan. Join this fantastic horse riding holiday for intermediate and advanced riders. You will be riding through the typical landscape of the Tian Shan Mountains. You will explore the exquisite colors and monuments of Uzbekistan. This hike is intended for exploring the wild nature of Uzbekistan. It passes through the mountains far from roads and villages.

All hiking gear and food will be transported by the mules and horses you ride. There will be no support car. The mountain team takes care of the animals, the kitchen, and the hiking equipment. During the hike, you will be provided with a two-person tent, one groundsheet per person, dishes, and kitchen equipment. You must have your own sleeping bag. If you find it necessary, you can take an inflatable mat or other material for your comfort.

To wash, you use the river water. Water sources and the abundance of pastures in the mountains vary according to the seasons and years. The horse riding circuit can be modified or adjusted depending on the accessibility of the trails and the availability of water and hay in the mountains for the horses. The abundance of snow, rain, flooded rivers in spring, and lack of hay and/or water in autumn risk blocking the paths, forcing the guide to take trails or directions that are not mentioned.
