Turgusun lake the first – information for tourists -
Lake Turgusun is located on the famous mountain route, which covers all parts of the Kazakh Altai. The lake is considered moraine, high-altitude, there are no roads here, so it is possible to move around the area only on foot or by horse. On the way to the lake, we walk along the valley of the Turgusun River. The length of the lake is 350 meters and the width is 240 meters. On the shore of the lake they usually stop for the night along the route. The places here are not crowded, you will never meet crowds of tourists and vacationers here, firstly, mountain trekking on horseback for 10 days is not for the faint of heart and it is not a cheap tour. You can take a short tour, but then you will not see all the beauties of the reserve.
