This ride is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who want to see Song-Kul Lake on horseback. Starting from Kyzart village, this journey takes you across scenic gorges, over high-altitude mountain passes up to 3,400 meters, and into the heart of the mountains. It is a simple, peaceful, and active trip that lets you leave the modern world behind and experience authentic mountain life.
Meet at 12:00 PM in Kyzart village for a warm welcome and a hearty lunch at a local
guesthouse. After lunch, you will meet your local guide, get matched with your horses,
and pack the support horses with your gear.
The expedition begins with a relatively gentle ride along the scenic Bazar-Turuk Gorge.
You will move through lush green pastures and rolling hills toward the Kilemche jailoo.
In the afternoon, arrive at a cozy yurt camp nestled in the valley for a home-cooked
dinner and your first night under the stars.
After breakfast, we begin the ascent toward the Tuz-Ashuu Pass (3,400 m). From the top of the pass, you’ll see a panoramic view of the entire Song-Kul valley and the lake below.
After taking some photos, we descend from the pass to the lakeshore, where our yurt camp is located. We arrive at the camp in time for lunch. The afternoon is free, so you can explore the shore, walk around the area, or just relax by the water.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Yurt Camp (Multi-share basis, outdoor facilities)
Horseback riding: 15 km / approx. 4–5 hours
Note: Song-Kul is a high-altitude area (3,016 m). Even in summer, it can be very windy and temperatures drop significantly at night. Warm layers are essential.
After a hearty breakfast, mount your horses for the final ride back toward the civilization. To keep the adventure exciting, the route takes a different path, crossing the spectacular KaraKiya Pass (3,360 m), which offers stunning new views of the surrounding mountain ranges during the descent.
Arrive back in Kyzart village by lunchtime (around 13:00–14:00) for a farewell meal with your hosts, where your horse trek officially concludes.
