Hike to the lost lake Kel-Suu.

Lake Kel-Suu is one of the most mysterious and inaccessible places in Kyrgyzstan. Hidden among rugged cliffs near the border with China, this high-altitude lake looks as if it's forgotten on the map.
Turquoise water, vertical cliffs up to 200 meters high, and absolute silence create the feeling of being in another world. Due to its remoteness and difficult access, only the most inquisitive travelers reach it—which is why Kel-Suu remains one of the most unique and untouched places in Central Asia.
Why visit Kel-Suu?
  • One of the most beautiful high-altitude lakes in Kyrgyzstan
  • Incredible views of the canyon and cliffs around the lake
  • The feeling of a true expedition away from the tourist crowds
  • The opportunity to witness true nomadic life in the Naryn Mountains
  • A trip through a wild and little-known part of the country.
