Kol Suu is a spectacular glacial lake set in a rocky canyon whose shear sides drop almost straight down into the lake. It's difficult to get to, but is one of the most beautiful spots in all of Kyrgyzstan. It is located in the southeast of Naryn Oblast, near the Chinese border.

Gorgeous Lake Kel-Suu was formed thousands years ago due to destruction of the mountain massif. It is located in Kok-Kiya valley (3 520 m), Naryn region, close to the border with China. Particular highlight of trip to the lake is splendid views on the way: At-bashi range, Eki-Naryn canyon (two rivers confluence Small Naryn and Naryn, Koshoi-Korgon fortress of VIII-X century, At-bashy village.

Kel Suu is located in the remote area of Aksai and Kok-Kiya valleys, almost at Kyrgyz-Chinese borders. It's an amazing place with breathtaking atmosphere at any time of the day. Once you reach the yurt camps at Kurumduk valley, or build your ow tent camp, the lake is relatively easy to reach, without significants climbs. Lake is located 5 kilometres from the yurt camps and round trip should take approximately 3 hours. Even though the route is easy, altitude makes the hike slightly more challenging. But you may hire the guide and horses at the camps. Lakes is definitely worth of the trip from Bishkek, as you may visit even other interesting location at At Bashi region - Silk Road caravansarai Tash Rabat or highest Tian Shan waterfall. Border permit is necessary to visit the lake! The level of water changes year to year. If you want to visit the lake while it's full of water, feel free to ask before your trip.

After an incognito 2020, i decided to do something adventurous in 2021 and wow what i start i had in Kyrgyzstan. I flew to Bishkek 0n 2nd feb and decided to visit places which are famous in summer but inaccessible by conventional ways in winter. My goal was to ride to the top of the song kul lake on a horse in a snowy and a bit dangerous mountain path. To fullfil my goal, i met with Aman, the owner of Kyrgyz riders (+996558033880). It took us 2 days to reach the top of the lake and the journey was mind blowing and hands down the best experience of my life !. The path was covered with snow and we had to often get down the horses to navigate them without stepping on ice which would break the horse leg ! The crisp winter breeze turned to extreme wind with temperatures well below negative 10 C. we had to climb over a mountain pass 3400 meters above sea level. The path after the pass was extraordinary and straight out of pictures i have seen of antartica ! wow what an experience it was! the lake was frozen and the ice thickness was well above 1.5 meters. if you can carry your skies along with you, it would be a great experience to ski there ! and best of all i was the ONLY tourist there !!!! can you believe it haha because in summer i think more than 100 K people visit this place !. Thank you Aman and Kyrgyz riders for such an amazing experience. Kyrgyz riders (+996558033880).

Kol-Ukok lake can be seen from late May till early September. If you want to overnight at yurt camps near the shore of the lake then you have to come in July-August when some local people settle down this time. The weather is quite cold to settle down in May, June or even late August. The route: 2- hours from Bishkek to Kochkor, 5-10 min to Kara-Suu or Isakeev villages where riding or hiking to Kol-Ukok lake can be started. It takes 5-5.5 h to reach the lake on horseback (total distance), 6h on foot. If you come in May-June then it's 3.5-4h to get to yurt camp (riding) and 4-4.5h on foot. The path for riding is quite good since there is one way to go up and down to the village. I had a family with children, one of them was only 11 years old. They had a lot of fun during riding. If you want to experience of nomadic life and without any super conditions (sleeping on mattresses, no electricity, local food,no signal for calling and etc.) then you will like this place!
