The pearl of Kazakhstan! We are very glad that we gathered and decided to go. The road is difficult, not every car will pass, and then still part of the way on local transport and on foot. But the views are amazing!!!
I recommend this place, it's beautiful, but be prepared to pay taxi drivers for a trip to Kayinda 2500 per person there and back, an environmental fee for a car in the region of 3000 tenge, then a second taxi for 500 tenge per person in one direction. All these expenses will be there upon arrival. There is a shop right by the lake. Benches are on the way to rest.
It's just a bomb! In good weather, the views simply cannot be conveyed in words or photographs. I highly recommend it. However, the road is quite tedious...
