Sary-Chelek — Attraction in Jalal-Abad Region

🌊 Lake Sary-Chelek — the Pearl of Kyrgyzstan 🌿

Sary-Chelek is a place where nature takes over the noise of everyday life. The lake fascinates with its crystal-clear water in shades of emerald and turquoise, framed by dense walnut-fruit and coniferous forests.

📍 Located in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve at almost 1,900 m above sea level. 📏 Length — about 7.5 km, depth — up to 234 m (one of the deepest lakes in Central Asia). 🌳 Surroundings: untouched wilderness with roe deer, ibex, eagles, and rare plants. ✨ The name translates as “Yellow Bowl,” and according to legend is linked to the golden colors of autumn and the honey of local beekeepers.

🚙 You can reach it from the village of Arkyt — the road is scenic but partly rough. ⛺ There are guesthouses, parking areas, and camping spots (extra fee applies). 🕗 The reserve is open from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

👍 Highlights: tranquility, postcard-like views, and a sense of total escape. 👎 Cons: limited activities (boat rides are often restricted), dirt roads, and extra charges.

📸 Sary-Chelek is not just a lake — it’s a chance to experience the power and beauty of wild...

Einfach unglaublich! Selbst entlang der Straße, die Sie dorthin führt, können Sie sehr schöne Ausblicke auf die natürliche Natur bewundern, die Sie dorthin führt. Schöner Wald, kleine Flüsse, Berge, aber dort ist alles in Ordnung !!! Persönlich mag ich es als Liebhaber des Reisens durch wunderschöne Natur, besonders in den Bergen, sehr gerne dorthin zu gehen. Und selbst ich würde zustimmen, dort zu leben, obwohl sie selbst dort das Netzwerk nicht abfangen und es kein Internet gibt. Saubere Luft, atemberaubende Aussichten, Stille, Wellen- und Windgeräusche. Ist das nicht alles wunderbar? Es ist sehr inspirierend für eine Person, wenn Sie sich gerade am Ufer eines Sees befinden, dem Rauschen der Wellen lauschen und den See und die Berge betrachten, die den See und den Wald umgeben. Ich versichere Ihnen, dass dort alles gut wird. Wenn Sie dorthin gehen und viele Fotos und Videos auf dem Telefon aufnehmen möchten, müssen Sie das Telefon im Voraus aufladen.

Just unbelievable! Even along the road that leads you there, you can admire very beautiful views of the natural nature that leads you there. Beautiful forest, small rivers, mountains, but everything is fine there !!! Personally, I like going there as a lover of traveling through beautiful nature, especially in the mountains. And even I would agree to live there, even though they don't intercept the network there and there is no internet. Clean air, breathtaking views, silence, waves and wind noise. Isn't everything wonderful? It is very inspiring for a person when you are on the shore of a lake, listening to the sound of the waves and looking at the lake and the mountains that surround the lake and the forest. I assure you that everything will be fine there. If you want to go there and take a lot of photos and videos on your phone, you will need to charge the phone in advance.

Просто восхитительно! Даже по дороге которая отвезет туда, можно полюбоваться очень красивыми видами натуральной природой, которая отвезет туда. Прекрасный лес, маленькие речки, горы, да там все просто прекрасно!!! Лично я, как любительница путешествовать по красивой природе, в особенности в горах мне очень нравится там побывать. И даже я бы согласилась там жить, несмотря на то, что даже там сеть не ловят и интернета нет. Чистый воздух, потрясающий вид, тишина, шум волны и ветра. Разве всё это не прекрасно? Очень вдохновляет человека, когда ты просто находишься на берегу озеро, и слушаешь шум волны и смотришь на озеру и горах которые окружают озеру и на лес. Уверяю вас что, там будет все прекрасно. Если вы хотели пойти туда и сделать много фотографий и видео на телефон надо будет...

Overcrowded, beautiful, corrupted, amazing. Sary-Chelek is located in national park. So there is local “headmaster” who can prohibit you anything. But with help of money you can do anything. On the East side you can find trail to the 3000m peak where you can see all 6 lakes surrounding Sary-Chelek. Grass is high and wet in the morning so hire of a hors might be helpfull. By appearance this lake is similar to Kara-Köl located on the South coast of Toktogul Reservoir. But uniqueness of Sary Chelek is in surrounding walnut forests and 6...
