Horse Riding in Ala Archa National Park

Your English-speaking guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned car. The scenic drive to Ala Archa National Park takes about 40 minutes, with beautiful views of the Tian Shan Mountains and wide-open valleys.

Upon arrival at the park entrance, you’ll meet your local horseman and friendly horses. Before the ride begins, your guide will give you a quick and easy lesson on how to control your horse—covering how to steer, stop, and ride safely. Then, enjoy a peaceful two-hour ride along mountain slopes with breathtaking views of the Ala Archa Valley. From your elevated trail, you’ll see rivers, forests, and distant snowcapped peaks. The route and pace are adjusted to your comfort and experience level, so you can enjoy every moment of the journey.

After the ride, enjoy a gentle walk along the park’s main trail, offering a new perspective of the landscape. Your guide will then serve a simple but satisfying picnic lunch (sandwiches, fruit, snacks) in a quiet, scenic spot inside the park.

Return to Bishkek. Dropping you off at the hotel will be the end of our gorgeous tour. Have an amazing evening!
