Journey notes

About this Journey

From Sarytag, we begin by driving down to the stunning Lake Iskanderkul, then follow the vibrant, narrow canyon of the Iskender River as it winds toward the M34 highway. After reaching the main road, we head north for about 4 kilometers before turning west into the Pasrud Valley. From there, the road gradually climbs through alpine scenery until we reach Lake Chapdara, also known as the lower Alaudin Lakes, nestled deep in the high valley beneath towering peaks. We have a walk to the Chapdara lakes. Overnight in tent at base camp.
