🇰🇬 Kyzart · Kyrgyzstan
Yrys is a local mountain guide based in Kyzart, near Son-Kul Lake. Authentic horseback tours, nomadic experiences, and tailor-made adventures — far from the tourist trail.
Yrys lives in Kyzart, the gateway to Son-Kul Lake — one of Kyrgyzstan's most breathtaking destinations. He organizes every tour himself with his family, giving each visitor a genuine and personal experience.
Whether you want a multi-day horseback trek, a cultural encounter with eagle hunters, or a peaceful night in a yurt under the stars — Yrys tailors every journey to your wishes, budget, and schedule.
Your guide will be Yrys or another trusted local guide from his team — equally experienced and with basic English.
Organized tours across Kyrgyzstan from 2 to 10 days. Tailored routes through mountains, lakes, canyons, and cultural highlights — at your pace.
Multi-day treks through valleys and high-altitude pastures. No prior experience needed. Horses are well cared for and helmets are always provided.
Never ridden before? Yrys offers beginner lessons so you feel confident before heading into the mountains on horseback.
Local guiding across different landscapes: mountain trails, hot springs, hidden lakes, and viewpoints off the beaten path.
Witness the ancient art of berkutchi — eagle hunting. A deeply moving cultural tradition recognized as part of Kyrgyzstan's heritage.
Sleep in traditional yurts, share meals with nomadic families, taste kymyz, and experience Kyrgyz hospitality far from any tourist crowd.
Wide open jailoos, mountain passes, and the silence of Son-Kul Lake.
All tours depart from Kyzart village. Horses, guide, yurt accommodation and meals included.
Not included in the tour price — but we can help organize it upon request.
Most comfortable and time-efficient option. Prices are per car, one way:
Shared minibus from Bishkek — cheaper but more complex. The bus station is on the outskirts of the city and finding the right connection to Kyzart can take time and may require transfers.
⚠️ Not recommended if your time is limited — you may lose valuable travel time.
All prices in euros. Guide, horses, yurt & meals included. See full details per tour ↑
💡 The more people, the lower the price per person.
You can also join an existing group — ask Yrys about currently booked tours to share costs.
