About this Journey
Early in the morning, we set off on horseback towards the Jumgal Valley. Our route climbs steadily to the Tuz-Ashuu Pass (3,224 m), offering a final panoramic view over Lake Son-Kul before we begin our descent into the lush Kilemche jailoo.
After lunch, we meet our driver and leave the mountains behind, following the spectacular road through the Kekemeren Canyon. The journey continues across the Too-Ashuu Pass, crossing the Kyrgyz Alatoo range via its tunnel, before descending into the vast Chüy Valley.
We reach Bishkek by the end of the day. Dinner is served in a traditional restaurant in the city, followed by an overnight stay at a comfortable hotel.
