点评:We did a private group for 3 on the 5 day tour. I was amazed by the scenery at every point along the way with each day bringing something new. Our guide, Nurbeck, was incredible and really made the experience magical. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and really wanted to make the experience great for us. His days didn’t end when we stopped riding and he made the effort to stay up talking to us and playing card games. He went to bed after us and woke up before to make sure both us and the horses were looked after. In the evenings we generally had our own yurts but there were other tours staying in the same camps so the social aspect was good even travelling as a small group. The other guides in camp made the same effort to talk to us, playing Kyrgyz songs and showing us traditional dances. In each of the yurt camps and guest houses the families were so welcoming and the food was amazing. Before going I was concerned about being hungry after full days of riding but there were huge meals for breakfast lunch and dinner. Aman was also very patient, answering all of my questions before travelling and helping with hotel recommendations. The whole experience was truly made magical by the friendly and welcoming people of Kyrgyzstan.
Before staring the tour, Aman mentioned that some tourists raise concerns over the horses welfare. As a horse owner I did not have concerns for our horses at any point. It is important to remember that these horses are designed for endurance rather than the power and speed of English horses so will look slightly different. From watching Nurbeck it was clear that the horses wellbeing is paramount and after each tour the horses are turned out to pasture for a well deserved rest.
Overall, I could not recommend this enough and I’m already planning a trip back!
翻译:我们参加了一个三人私人团,为期五天。沿途的风景美不胜收,每天都有新的惊喜,让我叹为观止。我们的向导努尔贝克(Nurbeck)非常棒,让整个旅程充满魔力。他知识渊博、热情友好,一心想让我们拥有美好的体验。即使我们停止骑行,他也不会闲着,而是会熬夜和我们聊天、玩纸牌游戏。他会在我们之后入睡,然后早起,确保我们和马匹都得到妥善照顾。晚上,我们通常住在自己的毡房里,但营地里也有其他旅行团,所以即使是小团旅行,社交氛围也很好。营地里的其他向导也同样热情地和我们聊天,播放吉尔吉斯斯坦歌曲,并为我们表演传统舞蹈。每个毡房营地和客栈的主人都非常热情好客,食物也美味极了。出发前,我担心骑行一天后会饿肚子,但实际上,早餐、午餐和晚餐的量都非常大。阿曼非常有耐心,在出发前解答了我所有的问题,还帮我推荐了酒店。吉尔吉斯斯坦人民的热情友好让整个旅程更加美妙难忘。
在行程开始前,阿曼提到有些游客会担心马匹的福利。作为一名马主,我全程都没有担心过马匹的安危。需要注意的是,这些马匹是为耐力而培育的,而非像英国马那样追求力量和速度,所以它们的外形会略有不同。从努尔贝克马场的情况来看,马匹的福祉显然是重中之重,每次行程结束后,马匹都会被放回牧场,享受它们应得的休息。
总而言之,我强烈推荐这次旅行,我已经开始计划下次的行程了!
