Song-Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan⁠ ⁠😍

Song-Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan⁠ ⁠😍 One highlight of a trip to Kyrgyzstan is visiting the many beautiful lakes that dot the country—like Song-Kul Lake.⁠ 🤩 I share more about this attraction in my 2-week Kyrgyzstan itinerary: https://jessieonajourney.com/kyrgyzstan-itinerary/ This enormous alpine lake sits at 3016 meters and is absolutely stunning as you sit in a natural bowl surrounded by mountains on all sides. 🏔️ In the center, you have numerous yurt camps (I stayed at Kochkor 7 run by the fabulous Rahima) as well as cows grazing and people riding on horseback (which you can also do when you visit). 🛖 At night, the stars shine bright and you can see numerous famous constellations. 💫⁠ ⁠ Along with the beauty, my favorite part about this stop was how remote it felt. I truly felt like I’d driven to the ends of the earth—with the nearest gateway town, Kochkor, being about 2 hours away.⁠ 😌 If you visit Kyrgyzstan, make sure to spend a night or two on Song-Kul Lake!⁠ 🐟
