Hiking
The best way to get here is with a Russian truck, but only with an all-wheel drive vehicle.
300 m further is the Karakol Base Camp, also for overnight stays.
We hiked from camp to Ala Kul Lake and back in one day.

Hiking
Here you leave the Karakol and start the ascent towards Ala-Kul Lake. It's best to fill up your bottle again, until the camp there is no possibility.

Hiking
We got a ride in an old Lada along the way; it was a really nice experience. The route continues across a suspension bridge.
