Horseback-expedition Leader & Founder of In Saddle Adventures
Hi, I’m Anastazia — an equestrian guide, Silk Road scholar, and long-time China resident. My first ride across Inner Mongolia lit a fire so bright that I later traversed the entire Silk Road on horseback, living with herders and absorbing their age-old traditions. Today I craft and lead intimate expeditions alongside authentic nomads. Together we follow untouristed paths through Tibet, Upper Mustang, Northern Pakistan, Mongolia, Ladakh, and remote corners of China, granting you front-row access to cultures normally hidden behind mountains and desert.
Each route is tailored to your skill: gentle valley loops for beginners, high-altitude crossings for seasoned riders. Whatever you choose, my crew and I place comfort and safety first, providing premium saddles, weather-proof gear, and a support caravan even in the loneliest reaches of the steppe.
My mission is to open this majestic route to curious souls who crave genuine connection. If you dream of galloping beneath limitless skies, sipping yak-butter tea in felt yurts, and feeling history’s pulse in every hoofbeat, saddle up with us. Let’s unlock the wild heart of the Silk Road together.
