    Just another great hike, your tracks for Armenia were great, and it's good to read about your impressions of Kyrgzystan now!

    Nice trek, easy to follow, public transportation around the area is very good. You won't be waiting more than 20 mins, that's pretty sure.

    The hike is ok, but the valley is so-very-small, kind of a dissapointment, and for us, not worth the time we spent there.

    The entrance fee (yes there is) is 50 soms.

    We found the lake lake to be more pleasant than the valley! Had a picnic near the lake, and it looked very possible to camp near the lake, it was super scenic.

    Thanks for the record.
