From here a 4-hour overland journey by\u00a0road past fields of sunflowers takes us to the Upper\u00a0Baksan Valley.

At the end of the road we will\u00a0trek to Lake Syltrankel at 3000m, 3-4 hours, where we will\u00a0have lunch, set up our overnight camp, refresh skills and\u00a0relax.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Day 4 Today we make our ascent of Mount Mukal\u00a0(3899m).
