Journey notes

About this Journey

We leave Chong Kemin National Park in the morning and drive south through the impressive Boom Gorge, following the Chu River as it cuts through dramatic red cliffs. By midday, we arrive in the village of Kyzart, a gateway to the high pastures of Jumgal.

After lunch, we leave the vehicles behind and begin our horseback journey. Riding along mountain trails, we gradually enter the wide open landscapes of the Jumgal region. By late afternoon, we reach Kilemche jailoo, a peaceful high pasture where shepherds settle during the colder months.

Dinner and overnight are arranged either in yurts during summer or in a shepherd’s house in winter, offering an authentic experience of nomadic life.
