Kaindy Lake was born in 1911, when an earthquake triggered a landslide that dammed the gorge and flooded a forest of Tian Shan spruce. More than a century later the bare trunks still rise out of the cold turquoise water — one of the most photographed views in Central Asia.


The lake is reached by 4x4 vehicles along a rough track from Saty, followed by a short walk down to the shore. It is usually combined with the Kolsai Lakes on the same day.
