What To Expect

Locals called Lake "Dzhasyl-Kul", which translates as "Green lake." The name “Issyk” is a distorted Kazakh word Esik, which means “door”. By the way, the town, which is located below the lake, has a name just Esik.

According to geologists, the Lake was formed 8 thousand years ago as a result of a powerful collapse of the mountain avalanche, which subsequently created a natural dam with a h of 300 meters.

Lake Issyk is located at an altitude of 1750 m, in the gorge of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains

Nature here is beautiful, breathtaking.
