We happened to come across Ailyak while searching for a path to go down to the river. The owners of Ailyak saw us and came out to greet as well us guide us. We got talking and their warmth and welcoming nature was only too evident! I would strongly consider staying here for that reason alone the next time we visit this area. And yes — we did walk down to the stream/river and the hour spent there was quite enjoyable.
