Via the border at Kegen, I made it to Karakol. Ala Kol is the most beautiful of all Kyrgyz lakes! In a good mood I set out and after taking a drive with a UAZ 469B 😎 I started going up. 500 meters upward and 15km further I found a camp to spend the night. Next I planned to go to the lake and take the same route back. This track is not for inexperienced hikers. After a 300 meter incline I decided to go back and not get stuck with 0 energy. Im proud of my achievement as a first time hiker!
