Anjaly, did you fly in and fly out of Kyrgystan for two days from somewhere else? Not your usual travel destination....

Flew in and out of Bishkek. This city is very well connected with Dubai (with direct flight of 4 hours), so it is rather a convenient way to travel. Within the country, there are plenty of options too - buses, mini-vans, taxis etc.

If you're looking for a truly unforgettable horse-riding adventure, then Kyrgyzstan is the place to go. This article left me impressed with the author's honest insights about the experience.

First off, I must commend the author for taking on such a back-breaking challenge. Two days of horse riding up in the mountains, in a country known for its love of horses, is not exactly a piece of cake. But if you respect your horse, you will never have to walk - a local saying that I now live by!

The author did their homework and found a company called Hiking Kyrgyzstan, which provided a skilled and knowledgeable guide named Aidar. As a solo traveler, it's important to feel safe and comfortable with your guide, and it seems like this company did not disappoint.

Speaking of the mountains, the author's tip about altitude sickness is worth noting. Always be prepared and bring some altitude sickness pills, just in case.

Overall, this article provided some great insights and tips for anyone looking to go horse riding in Kyrgyzstan. And let's not forget about the fascinating fact about the Dungan people - a group living in Kyrgyzstan who came from China, but are not Chinese. I'll definitely be adding Karakol to my list of places to visit!
