Bishkek
Your guide will meet you at your hotel in Bishkek and we begin a short drive to Ala Archa National Park (about 40 minutes). As we leave the city, the scenery quickly changes to mountains, forests, and fresh alpine air.
Horse Riding
Upon arrival, you will meet your local horseman and your horse for the day. After a short safety briefing and basic instructions, you will begin your 2-hour horseback ride.
The trail follows mountain slopes and scenic paths, offering panoramic views over the valley, rivers, and the Tien Shan peaks. The ride is calm and comfortable, making it suitable even for beginners. Your guide and horseman will stay close throughout, helping and adjusting the pace if needed.
This is one of the best ways to experience the mountains — slow, peaceful, and connected to nature.

Ala Archa National Park
After the ride, we take a short shuttle bus deeper into the heart of Ala Archa National Park, where the most scenic areas begin.
From here, we start a gentle walk along the river, surrounded by forest and fresh mountain air. This is a relaxed and enjoyable part of the day where you can take photos, explore at your own pace, and even feed birds and squirrels. If you choose to walk a bit higher, there is also a chance to spot more wildlife and enjoy wider views of the valley.
For those who prefer less physical activity or feel tired, there is an option to take a cable car ride, which quickly brings you to higher viewpoints with beautiful panoramic mountain views, without any effort.
