Horse ride in Kyzyl Oi

On the street from Suusamyr to Kochkor there is a small village, Kyzyl Oi. The name is Kyrgyz and means Red Valley. Look around and you will understand its origin. 

Here, we slept in the house of host from the CBT network. The next morning we started for a horse ride to the mountains on the other side of the Kokomeren river. Our goal was a waterfall up there.

Come, let's discover the mountains beauty.

Horses are ready - While we have taken our breakfast our host prepared the horses for our excursion today. Saddles and bridle stuff are very different than in Europe.
