The trek to Ala-Kul lake is one of the most famous in Kyrgyzstan and because I thought it would be a tourist trap I was almost going to skip it. I decided to go for this 3-day trek anyway and I have no regrets whatsoever.

Day 1:
The trek starts of in the Karakol National Park passes at camp 1 and then I slept at camp 2 aka Camp Sirota.

Day 2:
Starting at Sirota camp I made my way to the Ala-Kul lake followed by crossing the Ala-Kul pass at 3900 meters above sealevel. After hiking all day I reached Altyn-Arashan where I slept in a guesthouse with the same name.

Day 3:
After a quick stop at the 'natural' hotsprings we made our way to Ak-Suu where we took a 25 Som marshrutka (minibus) back to Karakol.
