We had a lovely experience on the Ala Archa horseback riding tour un June 2025. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable. The ride itself was a bit advanced so be prepared to hold on tight. The views were magical, and the coffee and lunch was a nice touch. Would recommend.

We started our tour with a super-energic guide. Helped us a lot throughout the tour. Making it work with love made us feel comfortable, not like we were touring with a guide, but rather with a friend. During the tour, she took our photos and videos and passed them to us. Overall, if you’re having a holiday in Kyrgyzstan, I recommend DatkaTravel. It also helped us a lot with the pre-tour information from Izat. Our guide was Farukh. Ask for a ride with them if possible. She's very good at it!
