If you are hiking in Kyrgyzstan, it's fair to guess that you'd prefer to skip the busy trails and get off the beaten path. One such hike is the Bulak-Ashuu Lakes Trek, which ventures to the pristine Bulak-Ashuu Lakes in the Alay mountain range. This is a remote and tranquil hike, and accommodation is primarily tents, providing an immersive nature experience.
Starting and ending at Jyrgalan village, the trek's terrain varies from valleys, alpine meadows, and rugged mountain paths. One of the key attractions of the trek is the chain of azure Bulak-Ashuu Lakes. The hike offers exceptional views of these high-altitude lakes and snow-capped mountain peaks.
