Explore the frozen beauty of Ala Archa National Park, climb the ancient Burana Tower, wander through two of the country’s most colorful canyons — Kok Moynok and Skazka — ride horses in the peaceful Chon Kemin Valley, visit a frozen waterfall in Barskoon Gorge, and witness the power and elegance of a traditional eagle hunting show. With warm guesthouses, cozy yurts, and homemade meals, this winter adventure blends comfort, culture, and breathtaking nature.

Chon Kemin National Park is one of the best winter riding spots in Kyrgyzstan — wide snowy meadows, gentle trails, and quiet mountain scenery make it perfect for both beginners and experienced riders. Staying with a local family adds a warm, authentic touch to your journey.

Your route continues through some of the most stunning landscapes Kyrgyzstan offers. Kok Moynok Canyons impress with bright winter colors and easy walking paths, Skazka Canyon shines with red rock formations that look even more dramatic in snow, and Barskoon Gorge reveals a beautiful frozen waterfall surrounded by peaceful spruce forests. A private eagle show and a night in a heated lakeside yurt make this winter escape truly unforgettable.
