Kyrgyzstan - The road to Song-Kul Lake - Episode 2 - Altitude sickness

In this episode we leave the Kyrgyz village of Kyzyl Oi and head on the road towards Song-Kul Lake. This was day two of our Motorbike adventure in Kyrgyzstan and it did not disappoint. We got some snacks from a small town called Chaek and had lunch on the road.

The Motorbikes started to struggle a bit with the adventures of the Kyrgyz mountains and the altitude, as did my lungs. My blood oxygen went to 80% and I started to hallucinate at one point.

Song-Kul lake was beautiful and we really enjoyed the camp we stayed in, Sary Bulun Yurt Camp. It had decent showers, food was amazing and the views were even better. There was a nice atmosphere at the camp and the management team/staff were excellent. I would highly recommend staying there if you are planning on staying near Song-Kul Lake.
