Assy Plateau and Bartogai Reservoir early May

[Dorothea]

Hi, do you have any updates on the snow cover on the Assy Plateau at the moment? Is it possible to cycle up Turgen gorge and cross the plateau to Bartogai Reservoir in early May or is there still too much snow? Thanks!

It's been a late winter, I think right now it is still snowy up there, but might melt in a week or 2. Ask local tourist agency: http://caravanistan.com/tourism-offices/ -> Almaty

Just a quick update:
There was a big avalanche before ьатан. Some bridges were washed away. The road up to Assy plateau and Kajrakskij waterfall is closed.
