Horseback riding in Uzbekistan connects you to a tradition stretching back thousands of years. Our tours take you through three stunning mountain regions — Chimgan, Nuratau, and Zaamin — on the legendary Karabair horses, a breed native to Uzbekistan known for their endurance, sure-footedness, and gentle temperament.
Chimgan Mountain Rides
The Chimgan mountains offer lush forests, crystal-clear streams, and panoramic ridgeline rides with views of Charvak Reservoir. Trail types include:
- Mountain trails — Through juniper forests with panoramic valley views
- Lake trails — Along the shores of Charvak Reservoir
- Village trails — Connecting charming mountain settlements
Nuratau Steppe & Village Rides
The Nuratau region offers vast open grasslands with the mountain range as a dramatic backdrop. Ride through villages built from stone — Eski Forish, Asraf, Ukhum, Majrum, Sentob — where streams flow alongside ancient houses. Ride to Aydarkul Lake and explore the Nuratau Nature Reserve.
Zaamin Mountain Rides
The Zaamin mountains in Jizzakh Region feature rugged terrain, ancient ruins, and coniferous forests. Ride to the medieval Mugh Fortress, explore historical archaeological sites, and enjoy breathtaking views of forested hills.
