KYRGYZ HORSE
EXPEDITION
6 MONTHS, 3 HORSES, 2500 KMS
ONE GREAT ADVENTURE
Kyrgyzstan – the land of free men and horses.
There comes a time for every dedicated traveller to blaze a trail of their own on an expedition. We've marked the Kyrgyz summer of 2011 as that time for us. We're planning a horsey adventure that will take us beyond the pale of touristic travel and onto the ancient bridle paths of the Silk Road.
You can read about the route, the dangers, the average (we hope) day on the road, see our much too enormous gear list and find out what inspired us on the Kyrgyz Horse Expedition pages.
