About this Journey

After breakfast at the guesthouse, we set off on our trek toward the Akkytay pastures. By midday, we reach a scenic viewpoint, where a sweeping panorama of the entire valley unfolds before us. Here, we pause for a picnic, soaking in the beauty and serenity of the landscape.

In the afternoon, our trek continues toward Kalmak Ashuu Pass (3,500 m). By late afternoon, we arrive at the base of the pass (2,700 m) and set up our tents for the night.

As evening falls, we gather around the campfire for dinner, sharing stories and enjoying the tranquil mountain atmosphere before retiring to our tents under the stars.
