Horse-riding Expeditions

In At-Bashy Valley, the horse is central to the nomadic way of life. Embark on a horseback journey, guided by local herders, across the sprawling landscapes dotted with traditional yurts. As you navigate the serene pastures, gain insights into the age-old equestrian practices, and deepen your connection with nature, all while on the back of a majestic Kyrgyz horse.

Yurt Stay

For an immersive cultural encounter, spend a night in a traditional yurt amidst the vast stretches of the At-Bashy Valley. Let the hospitable Kyrgyz families introduce you to their daily life – from felt-making to dairy processing. As night descends, gather around a bonfire, savouring local delicacies and listening to the mesmerizing melodies of the Komuz, a traditional Kyrgyz instrument.

Trekking

Dominating the valley's backdrop, the At-Bashy Mountain range beckons trekkers and adventurers. Lace up your boots and traverse through a myriad of terrains – from lush meadows to rocky paths – witnessing breathtaking panoramas at every turn. With snow-capped peaks, cascading waterfalls, and pristine alpine lakes, the trails promise a rewarding expedition.

At-Bashy Animal Market

Experience the bustling vibrancy of the At-Bashy animal market, where local herders and traders come together to buy and sell livestock. This weekly gathering is not just a market but a social event, offering a genuine glimpse into the local culture. Engage with the friendly locals, haggle over prices, and witness the age-old bartering practices in action.

Birdwatching

At-Bashy Valley is home to a diverse array of avian species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. Arm yourself with binoculars and venture into the valley's wetlands and grasslands. From the majestic Golden Eagles to the elusive Himalayan Vultures, the valley offers a rich tapestry of birdlife, set against the backdrop of its unparalleled natural beauty.
