A two-day horse trip to Song-Köl: is it the right format?

This is the shortest horseback option in the catalogue for seeing Song-Köl from the Kyzart side. It works best for guests who accept an active schedule and simple highland accommodation.

For more time in the saddle and a slower adjustment to the altitude, the three- or four-day Kyzart routes are a better choice. We will recommend the safer option once we know your riding experience and dates.

Common questions

Can this be done as a private tour?
Yes. Send the preferred dates and group size so the local team can confirm horses, camp space, and transport options.
What should I bring?
Bring layered clothing, rain and sun protection, secure closed shoes, water, and any personal medicine. Even summer evenings can be cold at Song-Köl.
