Kyrgyzstan's Most Sacred Secret
#MarchGoodPlaces2025
#SongKul #SongKul is a magnificent natural landscape located high in the #Tien Shan mountain range in #Kyrgyzstan.
In summer, the lake is clear blue and sparkles under the clear sky. The grass by the lake is full of colorful wild flowers, forming a beautiful picture.
Nomadic yurts are dotted along the lakeshore, while cattle, sheep and horses graze leisurely by the lake, adding to the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. The tranquility of Songkul Lake contrasts with the majestic mountain backdrop, showcasing the unique charm of Kyrgyzstan's pristine nature.
It is only open in summer. In winter, it is not suitable to visit because of the heavy snow. Although it is summer, you still need to keep warm. Because although the sun is strong, there are gusts of cold wind.
You can choose to ride a horse into the lake, which takes about 6 hours. You can contact the yurt owner to take you in!
The yurts are heated by firewood at night and do not have bathrooms. You can hike, ride horses, swim in the lake, and watch the stars at night.
