Return Trek to Tuyuk Su Glacier

Today’s 12 km five hour return trek started from our accommodation. We followed the mountain road along the valley until we reached the memorial for lost climbers which was surrounded by bastions of rock that are popular with rock-climbers. From there, we continued ascending until we reached Turku Su (3000m), an impressive glacier cirque framed by many 4000m plus peaks. The landscape looked like a painting with perfectly straight dark green trees and contrasting colours of ground cover. Most of the trek was on large stone gravel which is not my favourite, but was tolerable because the views along the way made it worthwhile.Læs mere
