A beautiful lake!
Of course, it is quite small and there are a lot of people there, especially on a day off, but it is worth noting as a point on the map to visit.
The lake can be reached on foot and on horseback. We went up on horseback, but the same people who went up with us at the same time were with us at the same time. Those who keep and rent out the end are just a rider, comrades. Not everyone takes care of the horses there, a horse was climbing with us in the group, which was limping and barely walking, and they beat him with a rod. If you love animals, I advise you to just pay attention to your own and those who rent it out to the condition of the animal. Horses can be very exhausted.
The drop-off cost 20,000 tenge per car (round trip), to climb on horseback — 6000 tenge.
Also, we were told that you can eat upstairs, but the maximum that there is is a stall with corn and chips. The toilet is paid, 100 tenge.
Impressions of nature — 10/10
Impressions of human activity 3/10.
Thank you for reading this review, I hope it will be useful for you!
A popular tourist destination located at an altitude of 1667 meters above sea level in one of the gorges of the Kungei Alatau mountain range. Tourists are attracted by the unique landscape — towering trunks of Tien Shan fir trees above the water. The lake is located on the territory of the Kolsai Lakes National Natural Park, 130 kilometers east of Almaty.
Recently, I managed to visit the amazing Kaindy Lake in Kazakhstan, known as the underwater forest. Turquoise water and flooded trees create a mesmerizing, almost dreamlike atmosphere. There is peace and quiet here — an ideal place to relax. The trip with Melon Travel was well organized: convenient transportation, fascinating stories from the guide and plenty of time for walks. If you want to see one of the most picturesque places in Kazakhstan, it's definitely worth a trip! When you stand on the shore, it seems that you have entered another reality!
