Visit Song Kul Lake

Song Kul (also Song Köl – Son Kul – Songköl – Song-Köl – or Kyrgyz: Соңкөл, IPA: [sóɴkœl]) is an alpine lake in northern Naryn Province, Kyrgyzstan, standing at almost the dead center of the country. It lies at an altitude of 3016 meters (9,900 ft) and has an area of about 270 km2 (168miles2).

The lake comes into its own during the short summer when the extensive “jailos” (summer pastures) that surround the lake are utilized for grazing by herdsmen from across Naryn Oblast. At this time of year there are a considerable number of yurts clustered in small family groups around its shores. Yurt stays can be arranged, including meals.
