The working plan
What we want to do
Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan will be about horse riding, experiencing local life, exploring wild landscapes, and spending as much time in nature as possible. March is still early spring, so the high mountains will be covered in deep snow. We’ll stay mostly at lower elevations, explore what’s accessible, and enjoy those huge snow-covered mountains from below. The route isn’t fixed — we’ll see what we find along the way.
What we have done
- Broad north-to-south route outlined
