Horse riding at Issyk Kul Lake
A loop following Scythian's kurgans
Two days of easy ride on sand and dirty roads from the village of Kyzyl Suu, chef-lieu of the Jeti Oguz district, to Issyk Kul lake and back. On the way, we can observe kurgans, which are still keeping their secrets. But the spot of this program is the sandy and wild beaches of Kyzyl Suu and the hot sources.
Discover the wild beaches and the hot sources of Kyzyl Suu
This short discovery on horseback is carried out with a community of families from the region and is part of our eco-tourism development. This loop can be done all year round.

Horse Riding from Natali Resort at the Issyk Kul Lake to Kyzyl Suu village
Excellent travel company. The organization of the trip with Bakyt went very smoothly; he was very attentive and flexible regarding our requests. Our guide Aisuluu spoke perfect French (as well as Russian, Kyrgyz, and English) and was always able to answer our questions and was very caring. The driver who accompanied us was also very friendly. We had a wonderful week in Kyrgyzstan. The hospitality of the people who hosted us deeply touched us. Highly recommend the Nomadsland agency for any travel in Central Asia for the quality of their services and their kindness.
On our tour with Nomadsland everything was perfect, and it was one of the vacations of our life time. From the first day we contacted Fabian we were pleasantly surprised by the dedication and commitment he had put to build and organise the tour. Before and during the trip the communications was excellent and we were very impressed with the arrangements made for the entire trip. It was a unique experience and opportunity to see the untouched landscapes, spend time with local families and enjoy Kyrgyz hospitality. The Yurts family chosen by Nomadsland were simple however the overall experience was authentic. We were very happy by not being surrounded by any tourists. The accommodation and food was excellent. Our driver / guide made the trip really memorable. They have wealth of knowledge of Kyrgyzstan’s history, culture and geopolitical situation. It was worth having them with us as they really helped us connecting with Kyrgyzstan and understand the country. We are very happy that we chose Nomandsland and are looking forward to plan another journey. Many thanks to Fabian, Aizhan, Sergi. It felt that we were invited in Kyrgyzstan rather than being on the tour.
