Dag 8 – Tjaktja to Radunjarga via Alesjaure

Kungsleden 1983 Day 8-9
Tjaktja Stuga to Alesjaure fjallstation to Radunjarga

This was the easiest hiking day of our trekking tour, Basically a nice long downhill walk, rocky in some places but very pleasant. The weather improved further, overcast but no rain. We reached Alsjaura fjallstuga around lunchtime, it was only about 13km. As the distanced from Alesjaura to Abiskojaure is 21 km and there is some sort of steep descent called Kieronbacken on that route, we decide to take a break for lunch at Alesjaure and continue for a few hours along the lake.

We went on for about 2 hours to a place called Radunjarga which is a shelter near the lake and decided to pitch our tent in the surroundings. Maybe not the best idea because it was quite wet and infested with an army of hungry mosquitoes.
