Travel story
Five days packed with experiences unique to Kyrgyzstan: galloping across vast grasslands on horseback and getting a taste of nomadic life.
Enjoy three horseback rides amid diverse nature, from the spectacular views of Lake Issyk-Kul and the Tien Shan Mountains to valleys and highlands.
Cultural activities beyond sightseeing are plentiful, including falconer experiences, traditional cooking, and hot springs.
Accommodations are part of the experience too, ranging from five-star hotels to mountain cottages and lakeside luxury yurts.
A Japanese-speaking guide-driver accompanies the entire itinerary, so even first-time visitors to Kyrgyzstan can immerse themselves in the great outdoors with peace of mind.

A Japanese-speaking guide-driver accompanies the entire itinerary, so even first-time travelers to Central Asia can enjoy the trip with confidence.
