Karakol lakes

Description:

The beginning of the route, from the village of Elekmonar, where tourists are delivered from campgrounds and tourist parks, then the all-terrain vehicle goes about 30 km upwards in off-road conditions, depending on weather conditions, this site takes from 2 to 3 hours of time and ends at the starting glade of Tours, located about 8 km below the lakes.

Well, the most exciting, and extreme section of the route, of course, is the throw from Tura to the lakes all-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle. 12 kilometers of pure extreme. There is no road as such. Where along the virgin land with a track more than a meter, where along the beds of mountain rivers littered with large stones, our way will pass to the tourist base located on the fifth lake. The ascent to the lakes is complicated, the magnitude of the rise in places up to 45 degrees.

Lunch (if necessary) is ordered for the group in advance before the start of the tour from the village of Elekmonar. After lunch, the group goes to the lakes, although the option is lunch after a walk on the lakes. The path leading to them is very conventional and in places is a heap of large stones, which excludes any kind of movement, except on foot.

The highest is the first lake, from it flows a stream, which forms a small cascading waterfall that flows into the third lake, and then into all the other lakes in order. Water from the second lake also flows into the third. The first and second lakes are not connected.

And then the lakes go in order. Near the fourth lake, the trail passes through the territory of the marmot colony, busily scurrying almost under their feet, are not afraid of people and do not mind to pose for a camera. However, they do not live here every year because of the seasonal migrations of these funny animals. The hike from the fifth lake to the first and back takes about 3-4 hours at an average pace. After returning to the camp and a short rest, tourists descend by all-terrain vehicle to the starting glade of the Tour and further to the village of Elekmonar.
