Itinerary description

The trail to Ak-Sai Waterfalls is 6.4 km one-way and takes 3-3:30 hours. It’s marked by an occasional blue and white trail marker, but the footpath is clear.

The trail ascends initially through the forest before reaching a marmot-filled meadow carpeted in wildflowers. In each direction, you’ll see beautiful mountains rise above the river valley.

We rather go to a more challenging trail where we opt to traverse the bouldering and rocky track along the frozen river. But it’s all worth it to experience.
