The pearl of the Tian Shan mountains, Kolsay lake 🇰🇿

Kolsay Lake (Kolsay Lake) is a lake located in a national park on the northern slope of the Tian Shan Mountains. It consists of three lakes at altitudes of 1800m, 2250m, and 2700m. Since it is close to the border, if you stay near this area, you must leave your passport with the border guard. (In my case, I came during the off-season and could not see it.) You can only ride horses up to the first lake, and you need a special permit to get to the third lake, so I planned a 2-night, 3-day trek while camping up to the second lake. I was worried because it was the off-season when it rains often, and they said that it had snowed until two weeks ago, but the snow had melted a lot and there were no clouds, so the emerald water welcomed me. The emerald lake visible between the spruce trees as I walked made me exclaim in admiration that I could see such a landscape in Asia. #Central Asia #Kazakhstan #Kolsay Lake #Kolsay #Lake
