Kolsai Lakes National Park

A stunning alpine lake with crystal-clear water and peaceful mountain scenery. The walk around the lake is easy to moderate, with plenty of spots for photos and quiet rest areas. Mornings are especially beautiful with mirror-like reflections. A must-visit for nature lovers and first-time visitors to Kazakhstan. We took tour so did not had enough time to enjoy the beauty of the place.

Kolsay Lakes are actually a chain of three alpine lakes hidden deep in the Tien Shan Mountains, often called the “Pearls of Kazakhstan.” 📏 The deepest of them reaches 80 meters — that’s almost the height of a 25-story building! Still untouched by mass tourism — this is Kazakhstan’s best-kept natural secret. #KolsayLake #kazakhstan #centralasia

It’s really a stunning place. For sure it will be more stunning with nicer weather condition. It’s windy at the mountain side so better have scarf or jacket with you or if you are a tougher one;) the water is fresh cold when I touch it. Some people like to try the horse riding there. Why not especially up to the hill. Better than use your own legs😅

Beautiful scenic place. The walk around the lake and paddle boat ride is quite fun.

Part of Charyn Canyon journey. The Soviet van and horse riding were extra charge. Meal and water not included.

Visited this magnificent place during Christmas holiday. The lake looks absolutely beautiful and stunning! During the winter you can clearly tell that there is A LOT of snow and the ice is even thick enough for you to walk on which was really cool. If you love winter imagery, you can take amazing looking photos of winter and snow here. I recommend visiting here if you ever decide to come to Kazakhstan!👍🌅

Stunning! Visited the lake at the end of winter and saw it half frozen and half clear. I was told that the locals will do a lot of boat activities during summer time when the lake is really clear. There are a few cabins on top of the lake in case you want to spend the night.

Kolsai Lake is so pretty! 🌲💧 Big mountains, green trees, and clear blue water. You can walk, take pictures, or ride a boat and a horse. It’s quiet and peaceful. A fun place for nature and fresh air.
