Authentic Kyrgyzstan, done for you
Group and private journeys on horseback, among nomads and eagle hunters — small groups of up to 12, every detail taken care of.
Meken — homeland
We show you the Kyrgyzstan we call home
Ninety percent of Kyrgyzstan is mountains. We build every route around them: unhurried days on horseback, nights in felt yurts under an enormous sky, evenings with herding families and eagle hunters. You simply arrive — transport, permits, food and guides are all done for you.
Join a small group or travel privately on your own dates.
Ride across high pastures and stay with herding families.
Eagle hunters, felt makers, kumys and songs by the fire.
Visa support, transfers, permits and meals — all arranged.

Words from our travellers
Song-Kul at sunrise, horses grazing next to our yurt — the most peaceful week of my life. Our guide Bakai made everything feel effortless.
Hannah
Munich, Germany
Bakai knew every flower, every legend and every family along the way. Small group, slow pace, incredible food. We are already planning to come back.
Daniel
London, UK
I had never ridden a horse before. Bakai walked beside me the whole first day until I felt confident — by day three I was riding along the lake on my own.
Emily
Denver, USA
Perfect organisation from airport to airport. Bakai always had a thermos of tea ready and a story for every pass we crossed.
Lukas
Zurich, Switzerland
I travelled solo and felt completely safe and looked after. Meeting the eagle hunter was unforgettable — thank you Bakai for translating every word.
Aino
Helsinki, Finland
Halal food everywhere, cosy yurts and the warmest people. Bakai turned a holiday into a real friendship with Kyrgyzstan.
