51km Solo Hike to Ala-Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬

Read here how to do his by yourself https://www.tim-tense.com/trek-ala-ku... The trek to Ala-Kul lake is one of the most famous in Kyrgyzstan and because I thought it would be a tourist trap I was almost going to skip it. I decided to go for this 3-day trek anyway and I have no regrets whatsoever. Day 1: The trek starts of in the Karakol National Park passes at camp 1 and then I slept at camp 2 aka Camp Sirota. My Strava upload:   / strava   Day 2: Starting at Sirota camp I made my way to the Ala-Kul lake followed by crossing the Ala-Kul pass at 3900 meters above sealevel. After hiking all day I reached Altyn-Arashan where I slept in a guesthouse with the same name. My Strava upload:   / strava   Day 3: After a quick stop at the 'natural' hotsprings we made our way to Ak-Suu where we took a 25 Som marshrutka (minibus) back to Karakol.
