Why Lake Alakol Is Unique
Lake Alakol is more than a summer beach destination. This salt lake in eastern Kazakhstan is famous for its mineral-rich water, distinctive dark pebble beaches and changing water colours.
Depending on the weather and sunlight, the lake can appear deep blue, turquoise, green or grey — which is why the name Alakol is often associated with a “colourful lake”.
Lake Alakol has also been known for its wellness reputation for many years. During the Soviet period, cosmonauts visited the lake as part of post-flight rehabilitation.
Today, travelers come to Alakol to swim, relax by the lake and enjoy a peaceful summer escape in Kazakhstan.
