Is the sky starry at night there?

[@journeybeyondthehorizon6270]

Yes, if there are no clouds. Watching the cosmos at night is spectacular. You are at about 2500 m altitude.

Did you organize a stay at a yurt?

[@journeybeyondthehorizon6270]

No, but I contacted the yurt camp in Facebook. Most of the yurt camps in Kyrgyzstan have Facebook pages where you can contact them.

Is 2 days enough to be at Altyn Archan ?

[@journeybeyondthehorizon6270]

Technically yes. You can go on the 1st day on foot for about 5 hours, or for about 2 hours by truck-bus, and back on the next day for the same time. But it is definitelly not enough to enjoy the place, it is so beautiful!
