The Ala-Kul trek

The Ala-Kul trek is a 53km hike in the Karakol National Park with around 2,200m of ascent in some pretty challenging terrain. It takes in the Aka-Kul Lake – a beautiful, bright turquoise glacial tarn, stretching nearly 3km end to end, and includes a traverse of the Ala-Kul Pass at a breathtaking 3,900m.
