Wow that is quite a trip. You definitely go hardcore! Staying in yurts in the middle of nowhere sounds like my dream come true, I can’t wait to read more about it

In reply to Semi. I did the same horse trekking around Karakol :) Yeah Bishkek was great fun, especially meeting up with my friends there.

The trip looks amazing! I would love more photofeed on this adventure, if possible! Nora and Jonny, I check travel blogs with great joy, and yours is really worthy! I would love it if you check my photo aggregation project at carde-app.com and evaluate it 🙂 Cheers and Happy Travels! Daria

Kygyz horses are so tricky! We did a trek into the mountains outside of Karakol and had to rely on our “animal whisperer” guide (who was amazing) to get them to go faster than a trot. The worst thing you can do is let them eat grass though… grab those reins and pull! Remember that YOU are the master, not the horse. 😉

We spent eight days in Bishkek and absolutely loved it… definitely a hidden gem of a city and a real respite for RTW travellers. Fast wifi available everywhere (even the hair salon and car wash!), cheap foreign food, good coffee, loads of bars and some fun clubbing! Could have stayed there for much longer…. definitely recommend it to long-term travellers passing through Central Asia.
