We pass by a abondant nature. Also will meet kyrgyz people who lives in the mountains during all year. We continue to climb towards the Jumatai Pass (3325 m). After lunch, we ride down into the Kichi-Kyzyl-Suu valley. Overnight in tents on the bank of the river.

We ride down 2 km, then up into the Shataly gorge, the first part is quiet difficult, then the ride is easy till the glacier's lake of Shataly. Back by the same way. Night in the refuge.

Today’s ride is a long and rewarding adventure for true horse lovers. We begin by descending through the Chong Kyzyl Suu valley, passing near the famous hot springs surrounded by dramatic red cliffs and alpine meadows. The trail then leads us across the high pastures of Siuttu Bulak jailoo, where herds of horses graze freely amidst a backdrop of spruce forests and wide open skies.

We continue our ascent toward the Ak-Say Pass, standing at 2805 meters, offering panoramic views over both valleys. After crossing the pass, the landscape opens into the lush Jeti-Oguz valley, known for its red sandstone cliffs and tranquil atmosphere.

In the late afternoon, we arrive at our destination and settle into a traditional yurt camp for a well-deserved rest. In winter, the journey concludes at the Jeti-Oguz sanatorium, where we spend the night in a cozy local homestay.

Today, we ride up into the valley of Jeti Oguz to see the wide glaciers of the mount. First, we follow a dirty road in a fir-forest, the the landscape opens on big mountains. In the afternoon, back to the same yurt camp. Overnight in yurt. 

Horse riding to Kyzyl Djar, between desert and forest, we go down and see a red canyon. This is the end of our hiking and we leave our horseman. Transfer to Karakol. Night in guesthouse Hutorok.
