Adventurous ascending through 'prieval turistov'. Didn't succeed to pass. Hard weather condition and altitude tiredness would be too risky to continue.
After short walk I found a paradise and decided to stay there.
Setting up from Medeu. Backpack far too heavy (17kg). Carrying whole house on my back. Got lost only once :) . Camped with Gaukhar and Amis.
Vising Shymbulak ski resort just 15 minutes outside of the city. Conformable lift by cable card up and short hike to feel the mountain breeze. Mountains in the morning, concert in the evening inRead more
....and cool swim on the way in lake Bashkal. Temperature outside was up to 38°C.
Long day driving. Average speed 50km/h due to the rough roads. It's going to be a long journey. This time sleeping in not that fancy place - motel by the road.
After very short sleep in Dacha
Met many interesting and nice people in Russia on my way to Aleysk where I suppose to take the train to Almaty. Things turned out differently and I got the lift to Almaty.
