ABOUT KOLSAI LAKE
There are many places on our planet that amaze us with their beauty and grandeur. Kazakhstan also has many natural attractions that you will want to see. The Kolsai lakes are one of the jewels of the Almaty region. They are located near the Northern Tien Shan and attract tourists and travelers from all over the world.
There are a lot of tourist attractions here. You can enjoy trekking and hiking in the mountains, or you can just walk by the lakes, and enjoy the scenery and the incredibly clear water. The water seems blue because it reflects the bright and clear sky, which looks low and accessible here as if you could reach it with your hand. This amazing color was the reason for another name for the Kolsai lakes of Almaty - "blue necklace".
