Itinerary description

2 days heavy backpack hiking from Juta village to Roshka village through Chauki pass.

All trail has fascinating views: Chauki massif, Abudelauri lakes, Roshka valley

First day camping at 2800m, last day at the Rock Side guest house in Roshka.

The record starts 2 km before Juta because Mountainfreaks tour didn't go to Juta because of cracks on the road but all cars were going.

After Chauki pass there are two alternatives descending to the lakes. I chose the longer and easier one this time. Other one is very steep and has a loose terrain, it was a nightmare in my first Juta-Roshka hiking.

    Hi! Thanks for the track? Do you think It's posible to do it in one day? I'm not carrying my camping gear. Thanks!

    Hi. Yes, it's possible by starting earlier and lightweight. In my first hiking i completed in 10 hours. There are guesthouses in Roshka. It's better to return Juta through Sadzele pass next day if you don't continue further Roshka.
