Itinerary
Trekking in Tuyuk-Su Gorge to Bogdanovich Glacier
A walk through Tuyuk-Su Gorge above Medeu, a classic weekend route to the glaciological station via moraines and mountain streams. In the first half of the day, trek to Bogdanovich Glacier (3500 m) in the upper reaches of Tuyuk-Su Gorge. A true high-altitude route, with snow underfoot, blue ice crevasses, and such silence that you can hear your own pulse.
