The lake Issyk-Kul is the most beautiful and large lake in Kyrgyzstan and throughout Central Asia. This amazing lake is on the list of twenty-five largest lakes in the world in terms of area, and in depth it occupies an honorable seventh place in the list.

It is the “Pearl of Kyrgyzstan” because of its extraordinary beauty. This is the most clear lake, which changes its color in bright sun from light blue to dark blue shades.
