SONG KUL LAKE WITH TIMUR

Timur

To be taken into account.
Timur is an independent guide who spends his entire summer season (June to September) in the mountains where the network is sometimes difficult. During this period its response time is often extended, do not hesitate to revive it or to write to us if necessary.

Timur

In a few words: It has been more than 10 years since Timur started as an independent guide to discover the magic of Son Kul Lake (one of our favourite places in Kyrgyzstan!) in the most beautiful way: riding. From Kyzart, Timur offers 2 or 3 days treks (or more) accessible at all levels. Once at the top, nights and meals are taken directly at the family yurt camp run by his parents. Careful, speaking very well English, smiling and taking care of his horses, you will quickly understand why we left several times with Timur to join the shores of the lake in summer but also ... Winter!

KYRGYZSTAN WITH ISLAM

Islam

Islam

In a few words: We do not regret the chance to cross the path of Islam on a beautiful winter morning at the bottom of one of the many canyons in Kyrgyzstan! We had been talking for over an hour and that was the beginning of our friendship. Islam is a young guide passionate about the history of his country and it is very appreciated that he is concerned about the impact of tourism in Kyrgyzstan: tourism yes, but not just how! He speaks perfectly English and is based on Karakol. It organises all year round small group trips throughout the country and adapts to different requests to create itineraries 100% tailor-made. Like us, you'll have a good time with him.

MONGOLIA 🇲🇳

Mongolian camel

Nomad Planet

In a few words: Experience Mongolia often boils down to a rather intense cocktail gathering two things: adventure in spectacular and wild places and immersions in the daily lives of nomads who populate them. That's exactly what our friends at Nomad Planet offer, meeting by chance at a yak breeder, but with extra little stuff.
Pioneers of responsible tourism for 15 years and in close connection with nomadic families, Munkhe and his brother take you for real immersions in the heart of these families, with routes that they alone know, including all the « essential » of each region, all with 100% Francophone guides. Basically, everything we'd like to have 7 years ago on our first backpack trip.

GEORGIA 🇬🇪

Muhkmad

In a few words: Muhkmad is undoubtedly the definition of what is called a "Beautiful person", it is the first thing that comes to mind to talk about him. It was with him that we had one of the most intense adventures in our life: 5 days on horseback to reach one of the most remote areas of Georgia, Touchetia. Conscientious, caring and speaking well English, Muhkmad has been organizing treks on horseback (from a few hours to several days!) for several years and dreaming one day to build its own. « ranch » in his valley. He loves his horses and looks after their well-being as well as that of his (apprentices) riders: you will have the guarantee to leave with horses in good health as well as with quality equipment. He and his family will have marked our journey by their welcome and kindness (in addition to his mother's EXCELLENT Khachapuris!).

THE HIDDEN GEMS OF UZBEKISTAN WITH ASAD

Asad

Asad

In a few words: Confronted with the detour of a cup of tea in his hometown of Samarkand, Asad turned our discovery of the city into a hunt for the most beautiful treasures of the latter. Passionate about history (and plov!), smiling, dynamic and speaking perfectly English, Asad takes pleasure in discovering the secrets of Uzbekistan in its mythical cities, but also in taking small groups hiking in the nearby mountains of Tajikistan. We loved spending time discovering this country with him.

Azamat

In a few words: Adventure and great moments are all you have to gain by contacting Azamat!
