Tucked away in the majestic Tian Shan Mountains, Kolsay Lake is a hidden treasure that promises an unforgettable escape into nature. Unlike any other destination, this stunning lake is renowned for its breathtaking beauty and tranquil atmosphere.
Highlights
Triple Lake Wonder: Kolsay Lake actually consists of three lakes, each offering its own unique charm. The lower lake is easily accessible, while the upper lakes require a rewarding hike through lush forests and dramatic landscapes. I joined a local tour and visited the lower lake.
Nature’s Playground: Whether you’re hiking along scenic trails, picnicking by the water, or simply soaking in the serene surroundings, Kolsay Lake is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The area is a haven for birdwatching and wildlife spotting as well. Also, rental paddle boats are available such that you can enjoy the beauty of the lake from a different perspective.
Plan Your Trip: The best time to visit is during the summer months (June to September) when the weather is warm and the trails are clear.
Transportation: While the lake is accessible by car, consider hiring a guide for a more enriching experience, especially if you want to explore the hidden gems around the area.
For those seeking a peaceful retreat and a taste of Kazakhstan’s natural wonders, Kolsay Lake is a must-visit destination that will leave you in awe of its beauty!
