Да чего прекрасные вершины, виды с базового лагеря «Южный» открываются такие пики, с интересными узорами и текстурой, все эти горы 5-6-7 тысячные, к сожалению название не всех знаю за исключением Хан-Тенгри 7015м

Kel Suu is a mighty jewel in the crown of Kyrgyzstan's lakes. It sits at an altitude of 3514 meters.

I have travelled to this remote lake over 10 times now and every time I've been rewarded with a different view.

The lake is at the mercy of so many elements. It was once even nearly empty on my first visit in 2018 (see last photo!).

The place has such an ethereal energy and the groups I take here during my Adventure Tours in Kyrgyzstan have often compared it to scenes from Lord of Rings. Unfortunately, I never met Aragorn riding his horse here (wouldn't mind going along if he offered me a ride 😏).

Kel Suu is tucked between the Kakshaal Too mountain range and is pretty secluded. You also need a permit due to its location teetering with the border to China.

It's a 9km hike to get to the lake from the incredible Kok Kiya Valley and after the mini-trek, you can sit on the banks for hours to soak in the scenery (as long as it doesn't rain, then you'll be the one to get soaked 🙈).

If you like to learn more, I recently published a complete travel guide to Kel Suu (see link in bio). This destination is also part of my Kyrgyzstan Adventure Tours (double-check the link my bio 😎).

Young horsemen riding through the jailoo (summer pasture) near the base camp of Peak Lenin.

This 7134m-tall mountain peak, straddling the border of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in the Pamir-Alay mountains is one of the highest peaks of Central Asia.

Peak Lenin's Basecamp (3500m) is surrounded by green, lush meadows where you'll often find herds of horses and yaks grazing.

The boys on the photo are part of a shepherding family living in yurt camps near Peak Lenin's Basecamp.

They spend their summer vacations in these remote pastures, assisting their family with herding the cattle and other day-to-day tasks.
