Great half day chill beautiful hike
Adilet - a great guide (if I spelt it correctly) Great pace and a chilled vibe. Logistics were very easy and the guide arrived slightly early. He even offered to taste horse milk at a local cafe.

Not enough time but beautiful
Several hiking trails, scarce fauna. beautiful. Snack stand at entrance sells stuff at three times the price.. Milan is a sweetheart but barely talks so didn`t learn much. Stayed behind (had the tour group leave me) so i could continue

Genghis (Americanized spelling) was a wonderful guide and companion. He recognized the skill set and capacity level of me and the other hiker, and he adjusted to us. It was a great hike, with stunning scenery. I would do it again!
