A pleasant walk and clean air that cleanses.When a bus with people passes, the smell of exhaust is very noticeable, which is interesting in the city you no longer feel it)Looking at this lake, you can imagine with horror what happened here on July 7, 1963, when a mudflow from the upper reaches of the Issyk River (mountain Zharsai) destroyed a natural dam in the western part of the lake, emptying the reservoir. The mudflow claimed about a thousand lives and caused significant destruction in the city Issyk. Pioneer camps, rest houses, entire streets and neighborhoods, and sown fields were demolished by the mudslide. The Issyk River changed its course as a result of a mudflow. Some time after the mudslide, there was a small lake on the site of Issyk. The Issyk mudflow of 1963 was one of the largest and most destructive mudflows on the territory of the USSR.
One of the favorite places of the Almaty region since childhood. It's very beautiful, I've been there many times, but every time I admire the beauty of these places.
It is very beautiful, of course, as everywhere in the mountains. The road is normal, the views are cool too. You will either have to walk to the lake itself or take an electric rickshaw for 500 tenge per person.
How can I describe it here. Go and watch.
It is carefully guarded, which is nice.
But their national nuances remain... Feature.
And here is a really magical color. Master si
A very beautiful place, where the splendor of nature pleases, where it is easy to breathe. You inhale the aromas of mountain herbs. There is an asphalt road to the lake. Everything is very convenient.
Pros as always, nature is 100%, but people worse than animals do not clean up garbage everywhere and a big minus is that there is no condition for people at all!, they removed the minibus from the barrier to ride only an electric moto for 2000t is very expensive...where is the akimat looking?
The pearl of the Almaty region is beautiful at all times of the year, the most upsetting are the uncultured representatives of the Homo sapiens, who leave behind mountains of garbage, grubs and rock inscriptions
The lake is very beautiful, we went with a private guide, thank him very much!
There is no infrastructure there, except for a few tents with some food and honey.
Good road! I was surprised.. The most beautiful nature.. Take sun beds and food with you and you can choose a place in the shade and enjoy the view and clean air!

The lake is beautiful. The views are great. There is a place to walk and have a small picnic. One problem. A small parking lot. There are practically no places after 11 a.m. on weekends. Tourist buses are also coming. Many people park their cars on the side of the road
It is very dirty on the lake itself there is a lot of garbage weeds the shore has not been cleaned travel 150 tenge in one direction the minibus is old but the driver is polite in general it would not be bad if only one passage was put in order the revenue for one day on the old route groove and the poor cleanliness and delight of the steps to the lake in terrible condition they were not really made by people and professionals are builders because they can't call it steps
I really like this place. A beautiful lake, around which there are many options to walk around the neighborhood. Above the lake there is a self-protective dam made between the rocks. It's a pleasure to walk there.
A place with an unusual atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting, but only early in the morning and on the opposite shore there are fewer people and more beautiful places
It's nice that you need to walk a little to the lake. And all the cars and shops are out of the way. The lake is beautiful! It is difficult to get to the mouth of the river. There are a lot of people on the shore spread out in the shade. You should not expect mountain coolness there. Everything is fine with the road and it is convenient to get there by car.
An affordable one-day tour. The lakes in the mountains are beautiful as always! Of course, it does not reach the lakes of Kola and Kayenda, but the views here are also amazing!!!
A very beautiful lake and gorgeous nature. It takes a long time to get to the lake, you will have to climb uphill. If you want, you can take a minibus for a nominal fee. There are traps and one covered stop near the lake. We got caught in the rain and there was not enough space for everyone under the bus stop. There are no services near the lake itself, buy everything you need in advance in the parking lot. The territory directly by the lake is not equipped in any way, wildlife.
A very beautiful mountain place with a view of the river flowing into the lake. The water is crystal clear and there are fish in the lake. There is a forest of fir trees around.
It's great to walk, walk very close, you can also go up and back with a driver. By electric chaise) travel 1000 TENGE. from a one-way car. The lake is gorgeous, as are the views along the barberry road
You can get to the parking lot by car before you need to drive through the eco-post and pay a symbolic fee.You can park your car in the parking lot and get to the lake itself in several ways. or on foot , which I highly recommend , because even the road to the lake is very beautiful , it 's not so far to go there and the road is all paved .either by bus or by electric car, like a golf cart for a nominal fee . When you get to the place, go down the stairs and the whole beauty of this place opens up in front of you
There was a choice between BAO and Issyk, but given the logistics before BAO, the choice became obvious.
I have never regretted choosing a place.
Unrealistically beautiful, fascinates all your attention.
Incomparable nature and location, I recommend everyone to visit!
A must-visit, there are no questions at all. Necessarily. Moreover, a place with a very scary story that claimed many lives. But it also brought a lot of discoveries. The visit will not leave 100% without emotions.
Please make the entrance paid. They fucked up the place. At the moment when I was there, 11 buses arrived there. Crowds of people. Everyone eats and throws leftovers. Everyone has their own music column. It's like we got into some kind of bazaar.
There is no privacy with nature there. The entry of 5000 tenge will fix everything.
The place is very cool. But people spoil everything. They don't know how to relax in nature.
A very beautiful lake! I would call it a miracle of nature. But there are also not good stories associated with this place in distant times. I really enjoyed the walk. I recommend it!!!!
Beautiful nature, photo angles, there are flat picnic areas. Overall, it's clean. Cleanliness starts with yourself, so we always clean up and take everything with us. Cons: terrible toilets, although their presence is pleasing compared to other places))); information signs faded from the sun; the smell of smoke and barbecue (I don't know if it's allowed, but last year people cooked).
In general, it is recommended to visit with the family with a blanket and a light snack))
A great place, I managed to get there every year. Unfortunately, it was closed this year due to the threat of a mudslide. I do not despair, summer is still ahead, God willing, we will go again.
My native country is wide!
The most beautiful and beautiful!!!
One of the places where troubles and worries leave you, the very places where you can gather your thoughts and rethink your current goals and desires!
We were there on 08/05/24, the lake has become shallow, the smell is rushing from it. You can look at the mountains, but there is little water itself and it is green in color.
We were at the lake in November. There are several sites with beautiful views along the way. You get to the parking lot, then walk 1 km. The nature is very beautiful. Even the snow and fog did not spoil the picture. There is a path along the lake. The water is a very beautiful blue color. Everything is clean. I advise you to visit.
