We had a great time with Homar and Nur Sultan in the Alay mountains. Our kids enjoyed a lot, the landscapes are amazing, the horses very kind and well treated.
The organization of the tour was very efficient.
We fully recommend!

Azi and his team are the best in the business. From the start they were amazing with communication and organised everything perfectly including our very complicated requests. We are from Australia and we travelled for 3 weeks and they were one of the few groups who could organise self drive car hire for the Pamirs. They went above and beyond and organised all paperwork for border crossings and several car transfers and a horse trek all on a custom basis. Azi was available at all times to help with any issue we had. A special shout out to Erlan who was our guide on the horse trek who was excellent and kind mannered.

It was a wonderful experience. Riding in these wild territories and being in contact with a nomadic family and living their life was truly a life lesson. Thanks in particular to our extraordinary guide Daniel, a young man of 24 years old, very prepared and professional. With him it was possible to interact with the nomads and discover many curiosities of these wonderful people. Thanks Daniel, simply extraordinary
