The climb steepens past the second lake, up to the Ailanysh Pass at 3676m. About 5km into this final descent of the day, as the trail curves to just above the main branch of the Ak-Suu river, we can see unbelievable views down towards an unnamed 3855m peak and the blinding snowy whiteness of the Ak-Suu Wall's glaciated slopes.

Breakfast. Today we go to cross another pass which called Ala-Kul pass. From Altyn Arashan, cross the large bridge over to the West side of the Ak-Suu River and continue South for just over 2km to the first large valley that rises off to the Southwest. From the turn out of the Arashan valley it's around an 8km uphill that rises from 2570m at the valley floor to 3906m at the Ala-Kol North pass, with the last 200m of elevation feeling nearly-vertical as it rises through loose scree over which two obvious paths have been stomped out by the multitude of hikers that hike up Issyk-Kol's most popular trekking route. The views from the top of the pass are something sublime, though, taking in an incredible panorama of 5000m+ peaks and the breadth of Ala-Kol lake. This day we will camp next to the Ala-Kul lake.
