Important notes
- 1. This hike is intended for exploring the wild nature of Uzbekistan. It passes in 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.
- 2. During the hike you will be provided with a 2-person tent, 1 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.
- 3. To wash, we use the river water.
- 4. 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, the availability of water and hay in the mountains for the horses. Abundance of snow, rain, flooded rivers in spring, lack of hay and/or water in autumn risk blocking the paths, forcing the guide to take trails or directions that are not mentioned
