Even those who have already participated in horseback riding and ride well need to listen to a short briefing. Then each member of the group will make a small circle on the horse to get a feel for how the local horses walk and how it is to sit in the local saddle. Today we will ride in small groups at the base. After training, a hot bath and a delicious dinner await us. Accommodation in small houses.

Ahead of us is a fascinating journey which we will spend with a faithful companion of man - a horse! We will have breakfast, pack our things and set off to Bandit Mountain. We dine in Karolinovka next to the Terensuk river - a very clean small mountain river where you can refresh yourself and drink cold water. The ultimate goal of the day is the foot of Bandit, where we set up camp and enjoy the beauty of the wild nature.

(Saturday/Wednesday) Ride above the forest. Muscles will hurt today. The muscles that work on the horse are never used in regular life. After breakfast we will take the camp off, parallel to saddling our horses; today we will ride over a couple of passes, see the extreme driving of an escort car, meet alpine meadows, dwarf trees and the first snowfields. We set up camp above the clouds today.

(Sunday/Thursday) Conquering of Mount Khizir-Teren. Today it is advisable to get up early; it is very beautiful in the morning in this place. Horses calmly chew the grass, and clouds float below the camp. Gorgeous view! The program of the day - the conquest of the summit of Khizir-Teren; sightseeing tour of high-mountain lakes. Today we will go part of the way on horseback, the rest on foot. Horses will not climb to Khizir-Teren, the stones are very large there.

A magnificent view opens from the top, the “Upper Tooth '' is especially beautiful - this is the highest point of the Kuznetsk Alatau. Having conquered the top, we go down to the high-mountain lakes. The two lakes are located next to each other in two canyons. The lakes are decorated with glaciers and turquoise water, there is a very beautiful view, and wonderful photos are provided. We will have lunch here and return to the horses, they are already tired of waiting to take us to the camp. Night in tents.

The morning breeze will blow with coolness and freshness. Today we will have a delicious breakfast and after that we will go to Lake Kharatas (Black Lake). Today, again, half of the way we will go on horseback and half on foot. The horses must be taken care of as they still need to take us to the base :) We will rest on the lake, swim, if you are not afraid of cold water, sunbathe, take great pictures, have lunch and return to the camp. By the way, our chef prepares yummy pancakes, pies and other dishes of Russian cuisine that can be included in the menu. So the dinners are really great.
