4 Highlights of the Tour<\/h2>\n

\u2460 Two kinds of scenic riding at Issyk-Kul Lake & Chong-Kemin (no experience needed)<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On Day 1, enjoy scenic riding on the shores of Issyk-Kul, the world’s second-largest alpine lake, with views of its crystal-clear water and the Tian Shan mountains. On Day 2, take a relaxed ride in the lush Chong-Kemin Valley. It’s a luxurious plan that lets you experience two completely different landscapes, lake and mountains, in just 2 days and 1 night.<\/p>\n

Before riding, the guide gives you a thorough briefing. In open areas you can try a canter, and if you’re nervous, you can have your horse led on a lead rope. The instructor matches horses to riders and guides you with safety as the top priority.<\/p>\n

*In winter, riding may take place in a village near Issyk-Kul for safety reasons.<\/p>\n

\u2461 Burana Tower, a Silk Road World Heritage site once visited by Xuanzang<\/h3>\n

Built in the 9th century, this minaret is a Silk Road World Heritage site that the monk Xuanzang is said to have visited.
