Testimonials
I’ve known Tatosh and Beksultan for several years at Song-Kul, and I trust them completely.
Hippo, the horse I received from them, has become the symbol of this relationship built on respect and lasting commitment.
They work with respect for nomadic life and for animals.
If you want to discover Song-Kul on horseback in good conditions, you can go with your eyes closed.
Our team
Song Kul Guide organizes treks throughout the country.
My name is Tatosh, I am Kyrgyz and passionate about mountains, hiking, and horses.
Song-Kul holds a special place for me: it’s where I rode a horse for the first time, interacting with nomadic families.
Today, I organize walking and horseback treks around Song-Kul, Kel-Suu, and Ala-Kul, working with experienced local guides.
My role is to prepare itineraries, select local teams, coordinate logistics, and ensure that each experience runs smoothly.
My goal is to offer authentic and well-organized experiences.
