Solo Trekking and Hitch-hike to Ala Archa Waterfalls (Ak Sai)

5 Days Solo Trip in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan
April 20 to 25, 2018

Bishkek City Walk Tour

The real deal of experiencing Central Asia adventure is to sight-see and feel the glaciers of mountain ranges. For now, day-hike only to have that experience and by the way, I'm above the chased waterfall at 2,665masl covered by very thick ice in spring season. Self-guided solo budget day hike to Ala Archa Waterfalls (2,665masl). 5 hours steep, slippery, muddy and icy trekking with more than 500m elevation gain on an 8km trail. Countless slippage throughout the trail using this light-trekking type shoes with soaked socks penetrated by mud and ice. I underestimated the Kyrgyzs mountain in spring season (aside from wearing light sweater, long sleeve dry fit shirt and ordinary pants).
