Explore the open-air museum, balbals (stone warriors), and learn about the deep-rooted history of Central Asia. This stop adds a rich cultural and archaeological flavor to your journey.
  • Nestled between mountain ridges, Chon-Kemin Valley offers lush meadows, alpine scenery, and the pure air of Kyrgyzstan’s highlands. After lunch in a traditional Kyrgyz guesthouse, enjoy a horseback riding experience through picturesque trails — an authentic connection with local nomadic culture.
