Almaty -> Karakol -> Bishkek
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2016 4:59 pm
Hi everyone,
We are 4 young Belgian boys planning to travel through central asia for 23 days starting 1 september
Here is our itinary :
Almaty-Alty emel-Charyn canyon- border crossing after Kegen-Karakor-Enilchek (7 days trekking to go and back to base camp)-Karakol-Jeti Oguz-Kotchor-Lake Song Kol(3 days trekking or horse riding in the area)- Cholpon Ata- Bishkek
First question: Due to a lack of time we where thinking about buy-in a 4X4 in Almaty and sell it three weeks later in Bishkek. Long long does it take at a administrative level to buy and sell a car ? more than one day ? Is it easy to cross the Kirghi border with a car we bought in Almaty ? ( budget of 1600 euros for the car)
Second question: Does anyone have information about the Khan Tengri base camp at the and of the glacier from Enilchek ? Will it be already close around the 12 of september ? And how is the road quality from Karakol to Enilchek and how long does it take ?
We plan to have a tente, technical food and cooking equipment as well as warm clothes for the trek as we heard it could froze during night up there.
If the trek to Enilchek is not possible we plan to visit instead, lake Kolsai in Kazakstan and a 3 days trekking around Ala Kul lake south of Karakul
Is there a summit higher than 5000m that we can climb without any permit our tour organization if we have a tente boot and crampons ? After summiting a already 2 summit of 5000m in Nepal and Georgia, we are really eager to do it again in Kirghizistan
If you have any advise or recommandation it will be a pleasure to hear from you.
Thank you in advance,
Gauthier Alexandre
