I Crossed Kyrgyzstan With 2 Horses In 6 Weeks

I’m Zahariz, an adventurer and a filmmaker from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I’ve recently completed my 6 week journey crossing Kyrgyzstan solo on my 2 horses.

I rode through the wild mountains of Issykkul and the Naryn region. I fell down from the horse twice, fell together with both horses in a deep river and they also ran away from me twice! I had to chase them for nearly 3km.

The journey was challenging but exciting. Most of the time I slept inside my tent in the wild mountains, travelled through the valleys and mountains…Finally, I learned to connect with animals. It was experience of a lifetime.

This is what I want to do when I have the opportunity. With a horse, mule or camel, and ultimately a longer trip of up to a year. But of course, in Europe there isn't as much wild.
