The Hiking World

Kyrgyzstan

KG

Kyrgyzstan opens here above Karakol with the Ala-Kul Lake Trek — a pin-to-pin schematic because OSM has no hiking relation, and the pass pin was dropped rather than invented. The classic corridor is not among named border-zone permit destinations this pass; a nature-reserve gate fee is widely described (amount unverified). Altitude, pass snow, and river crossings are public hazards.
