Overview
The 12 km track from the Saty turnoff to the parking area is the crux of the trip. The road climbs through the Chon-Urekty gorge, crossing a clear mountain stream two or three times and passing through sections of deep ruts and loose boulders. The drive takes 40–60 minutes in a competent 4x4. At the parking clearing — a flat area with basic pit toilets and a few yurts selling tea — pay any remaining gate fees if you have not done so. The lake is not yet visible from here; it sits another 1.5 km down a forest path.
