Afterglow Expedition: Kyrgyzstan


Wild · Transformative · Alive

An unforgettable 12D/11N adventure through the wild heart of Kyrgyzstan. Journey on horseback, by 4x4, and on foot through the remote Tian Shan Mountains, exploring alpine lakes, sweeping valleys, and nomadic culture. Expect epic landscapes, meaningful connection, cultural immersion, and the kind of adventure that stays with you long after you return home.

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for women who crave meaningful experiences, connection, and a sense of discovery. Designed for physically fit travelers who enjoy hiking, horseback riding, and exploring the outdoors, this experience balances challenge with connection to the land and active recovery through mountain treks, horseback journeys across high pastures, yoga in breathtaking natural settings, cultural immersion with local families, and rejuvenating hot springs. You don't need to be an expert rider or athlete; just willing to spend long days on horseback and on the trail, and embrace adventure with an open mind and adventurous spirit. Along the way, you'll discover not only the beauty of Kyrgyzstan's wild landscapes, but also a deeper sense of confidence, resilience, and connection that stays with you long after the journey ends. This adventure is application only and limited to 10 women.
