About this experience
Horses are the perfect companions for humans, and you will have the chance to experience this. Explore the picturesque Alamedin Gorge in the company of these wonderful animals that will help you cover distances tirelessly and enjoy the nature around you. We will ride to a waterfall, and if we are lucky, we might see a wild boar, mountain goat, or even a deer on the way!
What to Expect
From the Capital to Nature's Lap
In just an hour's drive from Bishkek lies the beautiful Alamedin Gorge. We'll get there in a comfortable car and then switch to horses. Our instructor will explain how to ride properly and communicate with the horse.
Horse Riding Adventure in the Gorge
After that, our journey begins with magnificent views of the peaks of the Kyrgyz Range, reaching 4500m! In the gorge, a mountain river flows, horses and cows graze, and various wild animals live - wild boars, deer, martens, hares, pheasants, and more. Admiring the landscapes, we will reach the 10-meter high Alamedin waterfall. In summer, it is engulfed in greenery, while in winter, it freezes into an incredible icy cascade.
Lunch by the River
We will end the route with lunch at the '12 Fireplaces' restaurant right in the gorge by the river, where you can taste mountain trout and dishes of the national cuisine.
