Sary-Chelek is beautiful mountain lake and one of interesting places in Jalal Abad region. The water of lake is clear, full of fish. Hills around create beautiful sceneries and cool opportunities for hiking.
If you want to make the trip to lake worth of the time, plan to spend two days near lake or in the last village. Visit the lake and hike to one of the hills.
Swimming is officially banned, but locals jump into the water and play on the banks.
It takes approximately 2-3 hours of ride to get from Tash-Komur to the main gate of national park and then 40 minutes to the lake.
Visitors are expected to leave the lake in the evening, 6pm.
We had a punctured tyre in middle of forest to sary chalek, the host came to help us just in time and offered good food and space.
Thank you. Mind it, they do not understand much of english.
Amazing place
It was a beautiful place just overrun as a tourist trap. There has been a lot done here in Kyrgyzstan to promote tourism. The problem is the mentality of many is that the tourists are here only to be relieved of their money. Folks don't mind paying for a service or to get something but don't like to feel robbed. Scary-Chelek is just like that. Locals must pay 100 com per person and 100 com for a vehicle. If you are not from Kyrgyzstan they expect you to pay four time that. What do you get for your money? Road is not maintained, trash is everywhere, a list of rules for you to follow but the locals don't. Once you get to the lake it is so overrun with people and cars that you cannot enjoy the beauty God has created.
Sad to say but much of Kyrgyzstan is going this same way. So much beauty to see but it is being turned into a money racked.
