    A hike that leads to a 4,535 m peak; the route up is through steep scree but there are no technical obstacles. Great views from the summit. The hike was done with the Trekking Union of Kyrgyzstan (www.TUK.KG)

    it was a amazing trail. I would recommend to climb the summit after an overnight stay in Ratzek.
