The Tien Shan Mountains are located in the south of sunny Kazakhstan. Here, where the Tien Shan Mountains are located, there is a very picturesque Kungei Alatau gorge, with the Chelik River flowing through it. This place attracts crowds of tourists every year, and it is notable for the lake of fabulous beauty of Kainda.

The lake is located in the middle of a majestic coniferous forest. There is also a small birch grove nearby, which was planted by people. It is thanks to this birch grove that Lake Kaindy got its sonorous name, since "birch" in Kazakh sounds melodiously – "kaindy". This magical, slightly gloomy lake is also called birch lake.

A bit of history

Lake Kaindy in Kazakhstan, from the point of view of geologists, is very young. Geologists unanimously believe that the cause of the lake's formation was an earthquake. During this natural disaster, which occurred only 100 years ago, the gorge was covered by a landslide and flooded with water.

This reservoir is located at an altitude of as much as 2000 m above sea level! The length of the reservoir is about 400 meters and its depth is almost 30 meters. A dozen years ago, the lake was a little deeper, but nature itself corrected the depth of the reservoir with a powerful mudflow.

If you look at the Tian Shan Mountains on the world map, you can see that the famous Kulsai Lakes are located near Kainda.

The magic of nature

Kaindy Lake immediately impresses with its crystal clear turquoise water, from which sharp tree trunks stick out like the masts of sunken ships. The atmosphere of mysticism and magic reigns on the lake, and many people come to see the lake on excursions.

The water in the lake is too cold to swim in it. Even in the hottest months, its temperature never exceeds 6 degrees. It's even colder than in frozen Lake Baikal. The flooded pines are perfectly visible in the water in good weather and it's just an amazing sight!

The mighty fir trees were almost waist-deep in the water, and they are still visible. The fabulous, gloomy underwater forest of Lake Kaindy, Kazakhstan, is fascinatingly beautiful and imbued with mysticism. It's so dark on the lake at night that you get the impression that you can reach the stars with your hand.

Around the lake, quite large stones and steep cliffs very often crumble from the gorge, but, nevertheless, there are a lot of mushrooms and berries in this area. Tall grass grows around the lake, and it is a pleasure to breathe the crystal clear, mountain, humid air.

Excursions to Kaindy Lake

Although the lake is not so well known among tourists, wildlife lovers and divers are well aware of it. Divers are engaged in underwater filming here, and anglers can engage in trout fishing. But people come to Kazakhstan to the flooded forest of Lake Kaindy and just admire this unusual natural phenomenon and be alone with nature.

Anyone can find the Tian Shan Mountains on the map, but to get to the gorge, you need serious transportation. Lake Kaindy, how can I get there? This lake is located only 15 km from Almaty, but it will take a lot of work to get to it.

And all this is due to the fact that these 15 km are not paved. Many people arrange hiking trips to the lake, and get a lot of positive emotions from being in nature, admiring its beauty.
