 – Short Description: KOL-UKOK (3,600m) = KYRGYZSTAN’S UNDERRATED ALPINE LAKE — lesser-known than Ala-Kul but equally beautiful. Remote enough to feel truly wild. The 4-day loop from Kochkor via Kyzart + Kol-Ukok + Song-Kol is one of Kyrgyzstan’s finest independent treks. The lake sits in a perfect glacial cirque at 3,600m. CBT Kochkor arranges horse rental for this route.
