Song-Kul, Kyrgyzstan

            Evening in the Yurt Camp

Song Köl (also Son Kul) is an alpine lake in northern Naryn Province, Kyrgyzstan. It lies at an altitude of 3016 m. The lake's maximum length is 29 km, breadth about 18 km, and the deepest point is 13.2 m. It is the second largest lake in Kyrgyzstan after Issyk Kul Lake, and the largest fresh water lake in Kyrgyzstan. Its name, meaning "following lake", is popularly considered to refer to this relation. It is surrounded by a broad summer pasture and then mountains. Its beauty is greatly praised, but it is rather inaccessible. The best approach seems to be the 85 km road from Sary-Bulak on the main north-south highway. Other routes require all-terrain vehicles. There are no permanent facilities on the lake, but local herders will provide supplies and rent yurts and restroom facilities. The area is inhabited and safely accessible only from June to September.

Nowadays there are for tourists yurts, water, sauna, toilets, restaurant.
