Karakul Lake (in Kirgiz: "black lake") is located approximately 200km from Kashgar. At an altitude of 3600m, it is the highest lake of the Area, Surrounded by mountains which remain snow-covered throughout the year.
The lake is popular for its unreal scenery and the clarity of its reflection in the water, whose color ranges from a dark green to azure and light blue, all of these can of course be seen in a sunny day, which we were not lucky enough to get it, but it was still impressive.
For us, the highlights for this trip were the road that lead to the lake and a visit in the village.
The way passes through yellow brown desert, high altitude mountain pass and impressive rivers. The village old lifestyle can be seen once in a while, some of the mountains were look like the red mountains in Eilat region, it was unbelievable to drive along the vast sand dunes 2 minutes after leaving the snow landscapes.
On the way to the lake:
We visited Kirgiz (ethnic minority) settlement along the shore of Karakul lake, it is build with stone muddy houses.
The local Yurt (a big tent) was quite experience to sleep in, the temperatures over there was extremely cold during the night but we were OK.
Karakul Village:
Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
