Three ways to meet the Chaar horse
Ride into the high pastures with the herd, travel through Kyrgyz culture and mountain life without getting on a horse at all, or come and live and work at Chaar Ranch itself.

For riders
The Chaar Expedition
Once a year we ride up into the summer pastures to find the herds where they roam, camping in the mountains along the way.
No riding needed
The Spirit of Kyrgyzstan
Bishkek, Issyk-Kul and the mountain valleys, ending with two days on foot among the Chaar herds at the ranch.
Stay and work
The Volunteer Experience
Live at the ranch, work alongside the horsemen, and be paired with one Chaar horse to look after for your whole stay.
Not sure which one fits?
Tell us what you're after and how much you've ridden, and we'll say honestly which trip suits you. We'd rather talk it through than have someone arrive on the wrong one.
