Itinerary description

Two small lakes are located near the town of Karakol. Both are beautifully lit and surrounded by high cliffs. The route is very easy, the elevation gain is smooth. But it is best to go here with an overnight stay in tents. In the evening you can see a very beautiful sunset over the lake Isyk kul. The hike is available from the end of May till the end of October. If you go for the whole day without preparation of equipment it will take 9-10 hours without rest there and back. But it is possible to divide into 2 days for 5 hours of walking a day.
