Song Kol Lake is in a perfect setting where reaching it on horses involves riding high over mountain passes, while staying with nomad families in yurts.

Coming from someone who has said about as much on a horse as yourself, I can only wholeheartedly agree!
Good to know I’m not the only one thinking that!
These photos are amazing! I spent two years in Kazakhstan, but never made it to Kyrgyzstan. Your post has made me even more determined to make it there!
I love travelling in Kyrgyzstan, the people and scenery are what makes the place so great. I’m sure you will love it there as well. What were you doing in Kazakhstan?
