Muztagh Peak-Kalakul Lake Scenic Area

introduce

Karakul Lake is located at the foot of Mushtagh Peak, the "father of glaciers". Because of the deep and dark water of the lake, it is named "Kalakul", which means black lake in Kirgiz language.

In front of the lake is a vast grassland. In spring and summer, there are flocks of cattle and sheep on the grassland, waterfowl and wild ducks swim on the lake, and occasionally swans look for food here. Under the sunshine, the lake is full of brilliance, reflecting the majestic Muztag Peak, which is extremely gorgeous. It is said that there are water monsters appearing in this lake. Of course, it is not known whether it is true or not, because after all, no one has seen it.

The lake water will change different colors as the sun shines throughout the day. Usually, the lake is clean and clear, as clean as a mirror; when the clouds are overcast, the lake will turn black like ink, becoming a veritable "black lake". Whenever the sun rises in the morning, the floating lake water is like the sky on the stage, constantly changing: sometimes blue, sometimes light yellow, sometimes orange, giving people the feeling of being in a fairyland.

Ctrip said it was closed, but it wasn’t, but you don’t need to buy a ticket to get in. There’s a gap to get in if you open a little bit up. It’s a great view. Beautiful and a little fake.

Karakul Lake is located at the foot of Muztagh Peak, the father of icebergs, 191 kilometers away from Kashi, and the China-Pakistan Highway passes by the lake. "Karakuli" means "Black Sea" and is a lake eroded by alpine glaciers. The water surface reflects the majestic and mysterious Muztagh Peak, the snow-capped mountains and rivers are the same color, and the scenery is very charming. The Subash Grassland by the lake is lush with water and grass, and there are flocks of cattle and sheep. There are Tajik yurts and wooden houses, as well as special mountaineering camps. There is a Bulunkou transportation station 30 kilometers north of the lake, which also provides board and lodging for tourists.

Apply for a border pass at the Kashgar International Self-Driving and RV Camp, and start from Kashgar City to Karakule Lake, about 200 kilometers one way. May my footprints bring you joy.
