Kaindy Lake

In the distant year of 1911, a powerful Kebin earthquake shook the Northern Tien Shan. The mountains trembled, and a massive rockslide blocked a narrow gorge. This is how Lake Kaindy was born — a quiet pearl at an altitude of about 1700 meters above sea level. Cold mountain waters gradually filled the basin, creating a lake only four hundred meters long, but of astonishing depth and clarity. Since then, it has stood here like a monument to the power of nature, surrounded by the harsh ridges of the Kungey Alatau.
