Description
One of the most popular walks in Kyrgyzstan.
Day 1 - Karakol to Karakol Valley (via Alpine Camp)
You will start in Karakol an area which I often refer to as Canada on steroids! You will take a Matriushka to the enterance of the National park and start a walk from there to Karakol Base Camp where you will stay.
Day 2 - Karakol Valley to Glacier
From this camp you will continue onwards up the valley next to the Karakol River. Soon you will pass by the confluence of two rivers that merge to make the Karakol River, but the confluence is out of sight. These two smaller rivers are the Ontor (Uyuntor in Russian, and Ujuntor on the local trekking paper map) and the Koltor (Kel’tor in Russian) Rivers. You will be going up the Ontor Valley (but some people still call it the Karakol Valley).
Day 3 - Karakol Valley to Ala-Kul Lake
After a good nights sleep under the stars, you will pack up and make our way to the beautiful Ala-Kul lake. This will be the most challenging day of the trip but will be no problem for someone with an OK level of fitness. This crystal blue lake is one of the most beautiful in the world, situated at approximately 3560 meters. After that, you will come back to the campsite.
Day 4 - Karakol Campsite to Karakol
You’ll be awake at 5 am ready for a magical sunrise! After that, you will go back to Karakol, you will refresh and recover from a couple of days in the mountains, have some food in a town etc.
