Getting There
Lake Besh-Tash is located in the gorge of the same name, 47 kilometres south of Talas. A good dirt road leads to the gorge, which is laid almost to the very lake. From the end of the road near the moraine to the lake itself is only 15 minutes walking.
What to Expect
The lake is located at 3000 meters and is 28 meters deep. The water has an amazing turquoise hue, which creates an excellent contrast with the surrounding snowy peaks and green grass. If you visit the lake in April or May, it is quite likely to catch the moment when the lake is freed from ice.
A little below Lake Besh-Tash is a small nameless lake.
Facilities Available
There is no mobile connection. It is not recommended to drink water from the lake and river without boiling. Camping sites are plentiful.
