Forming an integral part of the Great Silk Road, poets, pilgrims, warriors and traders have been riding across the spectacular Tien-Shan, "Celestial" Mountains, of Kyrgyzstan for thousands of years. Few places on earth can claim such a fine tradition of horsemanship, or a life so orientated around the horse, and local horsemen will guide you through the verdant, flower-filled valleys, across the wide open steppes and over the high mountain passes. The best way to see Kyrgyzstan from the locals' perspective is on horseback. Kyrgyz horses are hardy, wiry beasts, specially-bred for high altitude and rough paths. Particularly recommended areas to explore on horseback are the foothills of the Kyrgyz Ala-Too, shores of Yssyk-Kul, the route from near Kochkor and Shamshy Valley to Lake Song-Kul and, for more experienced riders, the Tien-Shan and At-Bashy Mountains.
