 – Short Description: Overnight at ALA-KUL LAKE (3,532m) on the Ak-Suu Traverse — the traverse’s central jewel. The new KYRGYZ LIFE YURT CAMP (2024) makes this accessible without carrying full gear. The TAKYR-TOR GLACIER towers above. Dawn light on the turquoise lake = extraordinary. Next day: Ala-Kul Pass crossing (3,860m) — the traverse’s highest and most dramatic point.
