Additional information

The Western Tien-Shan Mountains are fraught with the real treasure of spectacular lakes including the grandiose lake Sary-Chelek. This adventure trekking tour takes you through the picturesque mountain passes, deep gorges, along the torrents of mountain rivers.

With the length of 7,500m and the width of 2280m, the lake is 234m deep. It was formed as a result of tectonism of the area about 2000 years ago. On a fair day the extreme transparency of the water makes underwater inhabitants and deep water landscapes clearly visible. The lake is located on the territory of Sary-Chelek biosphere reserve and is surrounded with rocky cliffs, thick juniper and spruce forests reflecting in its water surface.
