    Shannon

    Asked on November 18th, 2024

    I think it is saying people have to hike to the next lake? I guess this may mean I can't go as I have a walking disability

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Central Asia Travel LP OperatorWritten November 2024

      Yes, hiking on this day is not obligatory. The car will be with you, so you can easily wait for those who will go to the 7th lake. If none of the tour participants decide to hike up, the whole group will simply return to the hotel earlier. The same applies to other hikes on this trip. The car will be with you - and in case you decide not to go with others, you can wait in the car.
