I hate heaven !!
I don't want to go to heaven yet but shiit...I unintentionally visited a heaven. So it was too bad luck to force myself to enjoy looking at such a place on earth. This kind of bad luck is rare, very rare.....
Karakol Lake
This location is quite confused because of its pronunciation of Kirghiz mixed Chinese and perhaps English, furthermore the name can be Muztagata for the snow mountain (Mustagh Ata, or Muztaghata, or Muztagh Ata or Muztag Ata) or Karakul Lake for the lake. So I can say I have been to Muztag snow mountain also I have been to Karakul Lake (or Karakol). The Chinese version of name for this location is Kha-la-koo-lee-hoo. Anyway the location is in between Tashkorgan and Kashgar. Looking over the other side is the mountain border with either Tadjikstan or Krygyzstan. We don't talk about how nice is this place because nobody able to describe how beautiful it was.
Muztagata peak, 7,550.9 m (24,757 ft) high.
I didn't climb up the peak but it is possible to climb this peak. According to a website, they charge 1690 Euros for a 21 days' climb and they even claimed as the easiest 7500m mountain to climb. Anyway I don't have that much of extra money for that, I just visit the lake which is here, this photo at 3600m of altitude and temperature in June goes down to negative at night where we stayed in the Kirghiz yurt with the family, it's a homestay and it was better than perfect.
