Day 3 Hemu Village to Black Lake
It was our third day of hiking, which everyone felt tired. Yet, we had to face the most difficult part of this hiking, which starts from Hemu Village and ends at Black Lake.

Foggy Morning |
Everyone said today would be the most challenging one, for the reason that today's hiking elevation is all the way up, from 2,000 meters to 3,500 meters above sea level. We can started from Hemu Village with a t-shirt; then we spent almost 8 hours finally arrived at Black Lake, we found out that we might need a coat. You can see this variety of elevation from different types of plants.

Little Black Lake (Before) |
That morning was heavily foggy, and many of
travelers decided to hire horses and local guide to finish the rest. I still
decided to use my feet to face this challenge.
That day, we were like meet all four seasons.
It was spring in the morning, and summer come when the sun rose. As we arrived
to the Black Lake, felt like autumn, since no more high plants, moss
everywhere. Finally, as snow covered the lake and mountains, we met winter.
That night, it was one of my greatest time of life. The Kazakhstan household of our yurt made some wine for us, and showed us how to play Dombra and sang Kazakh folk songs.
