Overview
Discover the dramatic mountain landscapes of eastern Kyrgyzstan with a flexible adventure tour starting from Karakol. This 2–3 day experience allows you to choose your preferred travel style: a traditional horse riding journey to Karakol Peak or an extreme 4x4 off-road expedition to the remote Sary-Jaz valley.
The horse riding option takes you through the scenic Karakol Gorge in the breathtaking Terskey Ala-Too mountains. Riding across alpine meadows, pine forests, and mountain rivers, you reach a panoramic viewpoint at around 3,000 meters facing the majestic Karakol Peak (5,217 m).
