Book your Song Kul horse trek
Book your horseback trek to Song-Kul and discover one of the most beautiful high-altitude landscapes in Kyrgyzstan.
Starting from Kyzart, we organize 3 or 4-day treks around Song-Kul Lake, with a local guide, horse, meals, and nights in yurts included.
The routes cross wide high-altitude pastures and reach the yurt camps set up near the lake during summer. The horses are chosen according to the riders’ level, and the pace is adapted to the group.
A clear briefing before you ride
Before each departure, we take time to welcome travelers in our briefing area.
This is where we explain the itinerary, introduce the horses, adjust the equipment, check the riding helmets, and share the basic safety rules before leaving for Song Kul.
For many travelers, it is their first horse trek in Kyrgyzstan.
This briefing helps everyone start the tour with more confidence, more clarity, and a better understanding of how to ride respectfully in the mountains.
