Transition to Lake Akkemsky

It snowed during the night in the highest parts, but these are not the places through which the trek leads, and after the initial ascent, there is a sharp descent and crossing of the river.

The views on the opposite side where we come from are also breathtaking and we enjoy wonderful views in all directions during breaks.

As the altitude rises, the first peaks above 5,000 meters begin to show us and we begin to feel like we are in the Himalayas, or other higher mountains.

After demanding hours, we start to approach the saddle, which, however, occurs a little further than we originally thought.

After about 4 hours of climbing, we get to the point where it is possible to see the area behind the saddle, which is still about 30 minutes walk.

The last views from the saddle towards the exit route from the river Kucherla and finally we reach the valley of the river Akkem.

In the valley we see the river Akkem and in the foreground is the dominant ridge separating the valleys of the rivers Akkem and Kucherla.

The descent opens up the first views of Lake Akkem, which is the destination of our journey.

The road from the saddle is still meandering, but gradually it brings us to our destination.

More and more beautiful views of the surrounding country are opening up to us, which is the biggest reward for three demanding days.
