The riding is relaxed, so experienced riders may find it a little tame. Your guide will give you a lesson on the first day, so don&#8217;t worry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q. Can I canter?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: There are open areas at Issyk-Kul and Chong-Kemin, so if you&#8217;d like, you can give it a try as far as conditions allow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if the instructor judges it difficult based on how well you get along with the horse or the horse&#8217;s condition, we may call it off. Safety comes first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: I&#8217;m worried about altitude sickness.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A:<\/strong> We will stay overnight at altitudes above 1,600 m, so you may feel some changes in your physical condition. If you have any health concerns, please be sure to consult a doctor beforehand and, if needed, get a prescription for altitude sickness medication.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, in case of a fall from a horse or illness, travel insurance with &#8220;unlimited medical treatment and rescue costs&#8221; is required. We also recommend bringing preventive medication.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What insurance should I get?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: We currently don&#8217;t have a partnership with a specific insurance company, so we can&#8217;t name one, but we recommend a plan that meets the following three conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\r\n<li><strong>Required: medical treatment and rescue coverage of \u00a530 million or more<\/strong> ASHU TRAVEL requires this level of coverage. Advanced medical care in countries like Kyrgyzstan and emergency evacuation to Japan can be very expensive, so \u00a530 million or more is the safe line.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Required: covers the countries you visit<\/strong> Check beforehand that the policy will properly apply if something happens in your destination country. Settings such as &#8220;worldwide&#8221; or &#8220;Asia&#8221; are usually fine, but it&#8217;s important to double-check.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Recommended: comes with Japanese-language chat support<\/strong> Even if you panic in an emergency, it&#8217;s reassuring to have a help desk you can contact in Japanese via LINE or a dedicated app. Even in places where phone calls don&#8217;t connect well, you may be able to call for help by message if you have Wi-Fi.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more on choosing insurance, please also see this article.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25b6\ufe0e <a href=\"https:\/\/ashu-travel.com\/en\/news\/central-asia-horse-riding-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Choose the Right Insurance for a Central Asia Riding Trip<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>[Accommodation and Cancellations]<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What is the accommodation like?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A:<\/strong> At guesthouses and hotels, rooms are generally shared and separated by gender.
