Description

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.
