As we approach the top of the climb, we’ll leave the road for a trail that leads up the ridge.

Afterward, we’ll descend to the Tepshi camp, where we’ll enjoy dinner with our host before calling it a night!

Over the next 3 days, we’ll embark on a horse riding adventure into the untamed beauty of the Alay Mountains. Escape the mundane city life, and experience the exhilaration of riding freely over the vast and beautiful mountains. We’ll ride through two mountain passes — Airy Bell Pass (2950m) and Ak Tor Pass (3557m)! Serene trails wind through pine forests, and through rocky mountain paths. At night, we’ll live like how the traditional nomads did, in yurts! Engage with local people, learn more about Kyrgyz traditional culture and cuisine, and we’ll even get to witness cow milking and dairy making by our hosts!

Another way is to take the new AirAsia flight to Almaty and get a domestic flight into Bishkek, and then another domestic flight to Osh.
