Ride into the Heart
of Kyrgyzstan

Yrys was born in Kyzart and has guided here since 2014. His wife Gulbara manages bookings. This is their livelihood and their home.

Yrys has perfected his English over years of guiding international travellers. Communication is never an issue.

All horses are calm, well-cared-for and suited to riders of all levels. No experience needed.

Horse, guide, horseman, yurt, all meals and helmets are included. No hidden costs.

"We did a 3-day horse trek with Yrys and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Kyrgyzstan. If you want a guide who speaks good English, has an amazing personality, takes you away from the crowds, and actually lets you ride the horses (including galloping!), choose Yrys. Yrys took us completely different ways where we barely saw anyone else. We even rode through an amazing canyon that wasn't even a trail. Truly such a special experience."

"Highlight of our trip! I cannot express how much fun it was to gallop on a horse through the Kyrgyzstani mountains. Our guide spoke excellent English and was very personable. I was a beginner with limited horse riding experience and he did a great job making me feel comfortable. The food was great, the yurt accommodations were great and the views were unforgettable. I would also like to express my thanks to our guide's wife — she was extremely hospitable and made the experience even better."

"Best experience I have ever had. Yrys is a great man and very experienced rider. Definitely will come back."

"It was one of my best vacations, an adventure of a lifetime. Kyrgyzstan is a country I will definitely visit again. Irys, a young, wonderful guide, and his wonderful family welcomed me and treated me like I was part of their family. He showed me Kyrgyzstan from a more hidden, non-touristy perspective. He showed me its true life, customs, rituals, and hospitality. The food his wife and mother cooked was delicious. I definitely have to go back there."

"L'expérience que nous avons eu a très honnêtement dépassé nos attentes. Si vous cherchez une réelle expérience hors du commun je vous conseille très vivement de booker un horse trip ici !!"

"Incroyable tour de 3 jours à cheval avec Yrys. Il a été au petit soin et très professionnel. Il parle très bien anglais. Nous avions toutes des bombes et les chevaux étaient très bien dressés. Les camps de yourtes étaient géniaux, nous avons super bien mangé. Je recommande vraiment Yrys Journey !"

"Nous avons vécu une expérience incroyable ! Très bonne ambiance, les guides étaient très accueillants et Yrys parle très bien anglais. La nourriture était délicieuse (et la vodka aussi !). Je recommande vivement cette aventure inoubliable !"

"Bellissimo tour a cavallo di tre giorni! La nostra guida Yrys è super simpatica, ben organizzata, molto disponibile e parla pure un ottimo inglese. Alloggi e yurte sono in buono stato e il cibo è sempre ottimo ed abbondante. Assolutamente consigliato!"
