| Kolsay Lake, Kazakhstan |
This was the last nature we visited in Kazakhstan before we moved to the Kazakh - Kyrgyz border in Kegen town. Kolsay Lakes National Park is located on the north slope of the Tian Shan Mountains, southeast Kazakhstan, also known as "Pearls of Tian Shan".

| Beautiful Kolsay Lake in Kazakhstan |
There was road to access to this area. From Saty Village, where we stayed the night before, it took us around 45 minutes ride to this place.

With snow capped mountain at the background, the lake was surrounded by lush pines and other mountain floras. I could not take my eyes from its beauty :)

| Perfect weather to visit the Kolsay Lake, Kazakhstan |
Visiting this place in September was a great choice, especially when the sun was out, complimenting well the cold weather.

| Me with the beautiful background and clear water at the Kolsay Lake, Kazakhstan |
We visited the lower Kolsay Lake, a natural mountain reservoir, which was formed by landslides that blocked the Kolsay River. The trees at the surrounding were so beautiful. The water color was clear, consisting mixtures of greenish and bluish. There was a hiking trail too starting from there, but we did not cover that. We were just walking around and enjoying the beautiful view.
Hope you enjoy the photos and the scenery too from your mobile, laptop or desktop screen, wherever you are around the world :)
