Sary Chelek is a far less frequented lake when compared to Kel Suu or Issyk Kul due to its proximity to the southern border with China. That doesn’t mean it’s any less breathtaking! There are also a number of smaller lakes in the area to explore. The best time to visit is autumn so you can see all of the leaves’ changing colors. #kyrgyzrepublic #kyrgyzstan #lakes #nature #hiking
