Mr Valentin – the friendly owner of Yak Tours will help you to arrange your hiking to the Altyn Arashan Valley. He has little hut there where you can spend nights (only 100 som per night – like 2.50 USD) and the meals are provided if you require… To get there take local version of landrover – GAZ car for 800 som pp or local transport to Ak -Suu village. Then it is 4 to 5 hours climbing up the valley. Views are stunning…
When I reached Altyn Arashan Valley enjoying the landscape in 30 minutes heavy clouds covered the sky and it started snowing. Brrrr… In the evening there were below zero! They provided US army sleeping bags but anyway the night was very cold…
