Karaku Lake - The highest lake above sea level

Karaku Lake - The highest lake above sea level 🍀Karaku Lake is a typical plateau lake, located at the foot of Mustag Peak and Gonggeer Peak, with abundant grass and birds by the lake, charming scenery, and the lake water is colorful under the sun. When there is no wind, the surface of the water is like a mirror, reflecting the mountains and snow peaks. One of the best viewing spots of Mustag Peak is also at Karaku Lake. Karaku Lake is named for its deep and dark lake water, hence the name "Karaku", which means black lake in Kirghiz. In Tajikistan across the border, there are also many lakes and place names called Karaku. 🍃It's more photogenic than White Sand Lake! The lake water, hills, snow mountains, daytime and sky are very layered! ⛳Location: Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture, Ketao County, Bulunkou, it is located next to the 314 National Road like White Sand Lake, at the foot of the "Father of Glaciers" Mustag Peak. 🎫Ticket: 45 yuan/person. Opening hours: 10:00-20:00. Accommodation: The local accommodation conditions are poor, you can continue along the 314 National Road for about 2 hours to stay in Tashkurgan County. 🍃The wind in the lake area is strong, so be careful to prevent wind, the plateau ultraviolet rays are strong, do a good job of sun protection, there are mosquitoes in the lake area, bring mosquito repellent. It is recommended to visit the lake at around 7:00 in the evening, the photo effect is good. There are a lot of tour groups around 3:00 in the afternoon, too many people.
