Travelling in Central Asia takes on a completely different expression when we do it on horseback. It is where the real nomads still live, whose ancestors long ago conquered almost the entire world at that time. For hundreds of years, horses have occupied a unique place in their culture, and people still can not imagine everyday life without these animals. Although we can never match the skills of the riders there, we will get their sympathy whith travelling in the saddle and we will drink kumis together. Horse trips are a unique form of getting to know this part of the world. We will reach really amazing places on brave and durable mounts. We will climb the high passes of the Tianan Mountains of Tien-shan and the picturesque high-mountain lakes. Galloping through the endless Mongolian steppe, we feel the wind in our hair, enjoying real, unhampered freedom. Finally, after an entire day, we will take our legs out of the stirrups and sit down at the evening bonfire in the taiga, connecting with the majesty of nature for one hundred percent.
