Hello! In this video you will watch beautiful alpine lake of Son-Kul located at around 3,000 m (9,842 ft) above sea level. This is the second largest lake in the country with a length of 57 km and a width of 29 km after Issyk-Kul.
Lake is located in the heart of the Inner Tien-Shan, 90 km north-west of the city of Naryn. From Bishkek till there it took us 5-6 hours by minibus. Most of the road is in normal condition, but there is also off-road.
Where to stay?
Local people from nearest villages settle yurt camps along the lake and they will gladly rent out a national Kyrgyz yurt insulated with felt. By the way, there are no buildings near the lake. And the air temperature in this area even in summer may not exceed +15 °With the day, and at night and even drop to minus values. In addition to the natural insulation of the yurt, special wood-burning stoves are installed in it. So don't forget your warm clothes.

Activities:
There several options you can learn horse riding or fishing, or you can just hike around and capture picturesque landscapes. Our tour guide even organized campfire with marshmallows in the evening.
This place is must visit when you come to Kyrgyzstan.

Nurak Abdyrahmanov-Son-Kul (Нурак Абдырахманов - Сон Кол)
