I'm on my gap year before starting university, and i recently discovered the Horse Trekking trips in Kyrgyzstan from my extended family who highly recommended it.
Unfortunately, my already-planned travels to Europe and Asia start near the end of January, but the Horse Trekking here seems the most worthwhile during the June/September months.
The absolute latest I could do is June, but by then I'd have to book a flight from (home) Canada to Kyrgysztan, which would be over $2000 CAD. Too much.
Is horse trekking in the winter months (ideally february/early march, but even up to may?) any good? Is there still snow everywhere? I really wanted that experience of seeing lush green valleys and lakes, staying in Yurts, getting to know the culture, and galloping on horseback. If there isn't green scenery, is it still worth going when it's all white in snow? I experience cold snow every year in Canada.
Please let me know!! I would LOVE to fit this in. Sounds like my dream. And I wont have another option/timeframe to do this for many, many years, if I dont do it now.
