Horse trekking tour in Kyrgyzstan mountains | Karakol to Ala-kul lake with Bulak Say
This 3 day 2 night horse trek in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan was THE most amazing experience of our entire trip!
Journey by horse through Alpine forests and snow capped mountains, trek up to the famous lake of Ala-kul. Stay in yurts, try local traditional food, bath in amazing wild hot springs, soak in everything that is Kyrgyzstan.
Day 1 Set off from Karakol around 9-10am. Trek by horse up the Altyn Arashan valley. Arrive in Altyn Arashan mid afternoon to be greeted with tea and snacks. Check into your comfortable yurt and explore the hot springs around the village:
Day 2 After and early start and a good breakfast trek by horse to a point near Ala-kul lake. At this point you have to do the last steep climb by foot to a beautiful ridge that overlooks Ala-kul lake. This last part of the route is too steep for the horses. It will take around 1 hour by foot. After some time enjoying Ala-kul lake, head back to the horses and ride back to Altyn Arashan village. When you return to Altyn Arashan enjoy the hotsprings again!
Day 3 After a relaxed start and breakfast trek by horseback back down the Altyn Arashan valley to your starting point.
Everything was so perfect! We are so happy we found Bulak-Say

The hiking route from Karakol town to Ala-Kul lake takes you from a small Kyrgyz town, through alpine forests, and into the snowy Tian Shan Mountain Range in Eastern Kyrgyzstan. With an altitude elevation from 1500m up to 3800m, this route was the most beautiful hike we've ever done!

Ala-Kul lake - Kyrgyzstan
Ala-Kul lake is a rock-dammed lake in the Terskey Alatau mountain range of Issyk-Kul Region of Kyrgyzstan. It lies at an altitude of approximately 3560 meters. This beautiful, glacier-fed lake is accessible only on foot, and it's a challenging hike, with lots of climbing, but definetly worth the trouble of getting there.
For further information about this country, check our website

Trekking to Ala Kul ( Kyrgyzstan ) - Journal of Nomads Adventure Tour part 2
Hiking to Ala Kul is not an easy hike but the views at the end are definitely worth the effort. This beautiful lake is located in the Tian shen mountains and two days of intense trekking in the mountains are required to access it.
During 10 days and together with a group of 15 beautiful people we explored the Kyrgyz mountains on horseback and on foot, camped at an altitude of 3500m near the beautiful lake of Ala Kul and stayed in the yurts of nomads where we tasted local dishes and learned more about the Kyrgyz nomadic culture. It was an intense and fantastic experience! Not only because we were in such a wonderful setting, but especially because we were in the company of a super fun international group! We couldn't be happier to have this awesome group of people joining our very first group tour! We are so so grateful!
It was quite an experience for us to organize such a group trip. We usually travel by ourselves and if something unexpected happens – which is usually the case when you go on an adventurous trip – we're only responsible for ourselves. This time we were also responsible for the well-being of 15 other people. But... everything went smoothly and everyone returned home with a big smile and new friends.

Trek to Ala-Kul Lake (Ала-Куль), Kyrgyzstan
7 July 2016 - One of the most strenuous but definitely worthwhile treks that I've ever done, our 3-day trek from Karakol up to Ala-Kul Lake and down to Altyn-Arashan and its hot springs was instantly a highlight for me!
In the video, we are only about 2 hours into the hike, having taken a 4x4 as far as it could go into the Karakol Valley. We take a break after hiking through damp weather. Forest is all around us and the Karakol River rushes unfailingly, and I'm already impressed by the nature all around, but the best is certainly yet to come ...

15 Things to do in Karakol, Kyrgyzstan Travel Guide video transcript:
Hey guys this week we are in Karakol, Kyrgyzstan. Yeah, so Karakol (Каракол) is a place that we've actually visited last year but we were only here on a day trip so we didn't get to see a whole lot. Right and this is basically the adventure capital of Kyrgyzstan. There is a lot of good hiking, you can take boat trips. So we're just going to show you like what you can do in and around this area. Let's
Our first stop was the Dungan Mosque. This mosque is unique because architecturally it looks a lot like a Buddhist temple; this is because it was built by the Dungan community, an ethnically Chinese people group who follow Islam.
Another iconic place of worship in Karakol (Каракол) is the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church. This is a traditional Russian wooden cathedral complete with onion domes.
We also squeezed in a quick visit to Karakol’s History Museum, which has a rather fascinating taxidermy collection.
Okay so it is dinner time here in Karakol (قاراقول) and the sun has gone down and today we are going to be doing a traditional meal with a family.
So we're going to be preparing Ashlyanfu (Ашлян-фу) which is a cold noodle starch soup and then we're going to go into their home and have a nice family dinner together.
And because we love our food, we also took a cooking class where we learned to make a traditional Uyghur dish: laghman (Лагман).
As far as day trips go, one nearby attraction from Karakol (Каракол) is Jeti Oguz known for its red hills. It’s about a 30 minute drive and you can easily hire a driver to take you out there.
Last but not least, one of the most popular things to do in Karakol (Каракол) is hiking. This is considered the adventure capital of Kyrgyzstan (Киргизия) with many hikes and horse treks starting right in town.
And that’s a little taste of what Karakol and the surrounding area has to offer visitors. We hope you enjoyed this travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas of things to do in Karakol (Каракол).
This is part of our Travel in Kyrgyzstan video series showcasing Kyrgyz food, Kyrgyz culture and Kyrgyz cuisine.
