Kolsay Lakes Trek

Today we visited two of the three, trout-filled Kolsay Lakes. We started our 16.3 km, 7.5 hour hike from Kolsay Lake, (1818m) and hiked up through the pine forest, following the horse trail for the most part, and were able to reach the second lake, Munzhylky (2252m) in just under 4 hours. Our picnic lunch was enjoyed at a peaceful spot beside the lake where we dipped our feet in to cool them off before descending back down the way we came. We were rained on for about 1km of the trek back but were prepared and didn’t even blink! So grateful that we are returning to the guesthouse for a second night where we can enjoy a hot shower and comfy bed. These comforts are so appreciated after a long day of trekking! The food at the guesthouse was great too. Starting with breakfast and for each meal of the day the table was laden with candy dishes. Who doesn’t love that to start and end the day!Read more
