Karakul Lake in one or more days

We set out along the Sino - Pakistan Karakorum Highway, on the Pamir plateau (the roof of the world) for your visit to Karakul Lake (3600m above sea level). The lake sits at the feet of the notorious, Muztagh Ata (7546m) and Gongur (7719m) mountains. ‘Muztagh Ata’ means Father of the Ice Mountain and is one the most beautiful and mysterious mountains in the world. On the way to the Lake you’ll see the jagged scenery of sandy mountain accented by the high colourful peaks of the Kunlun mountain range. We can stop for pictures at any time along the way.

Besides the lake, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the surrounding culture. You'll be able to visit a local Kyrgyz family in their unique homes called yurts and there is also the opportunity for horse or camel riding around the lake. It is up to you. If this trip takes several days, it can easily include a night lodging in a yurt and extended trekking at your pleasure. Rest assured that you will never be disappointed with your trip to Karakul Lake.
