Kel-Suu looks unreal, like a fjord in the middle of Central Asia. Getting there is tough: rough roads, then three hours on horseback. Azamat sorted all the border paperwork.

Азамат Жумабаев
Вырос в Кочкоре в семье чабанов и с детства провожу лето на жайлоо у Сон-Куля. Уже двенадцать лет вожу конные группы через перевалы Кара-Кече и Тескей, знаю каждую стоянку и семьи, которые принимают гостей в юртах. Лошади у нас свои, спокойные и подобранные под новичков. Люблю показывать гостям настоящую жизнь пастухов, а не декорации.

Маршрут красивый, лошади ухоженные. На перевале попали под град, минус звезда только погоде, а не организации.

Sample tour: Horseback Tour to Son-Kul from Kochkor - Lukas
Best three days of our whole trip. Azamat picked calm horses for us complete beginners and by day two we were actually enjoying the ride. The night in the shepherds' yurt, with fresh bread and kymyz we didn't quite get used to, was unforgettable. It was colder than expected at the lake, so bring a proper jacket.
