Riding in the Valley of the Flowers
Some locals rounded up some horses for us to ride for a nominal fee... the one my friend Sasha was given was excellent - it had even been trained to rear on command!
About this place:
Located less then an hour outside of Karakol near the small village of Jeti Oguz is the Valley of the Flowers. The best time to visit is during late May and June. Unfortunately, I arrived at the beginning of May and there were very few flowers. Nonetheless, the scenery was spectacular and the people we met were incredibly hospitable.
