We often saw foreigners traveling alone. But that’s during the season, when there are plenty of tourists there, as well as guides accompanying them or simply groups of like-minded hikers, and if something happens there is someone to expect help from in case of anything.
But mountains are mountains… there was a case when a girl was near a fast-flowing river in that gorge and somehow fell in… she was swept away… the disappearance wasn’t discovered immediately.
I also want to note that in winter there is nothing to do at Ala-Kul, in case you’re asking about this time of year. The snow is most likely waist-deep.

Could you please tell me whether it’s safe to go alone to Ala-Kul Lake via Altyn Arashan?
