Overview

Upon arriving at The Big Almaty Lake, you will wonder how it was formed as a Big Lake on the top of the mountain hundreds of years ago. Big Almaty Lake is a natural alpine reservoir. It is located in the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, 15 km south of the centre of Almaty in Kazakhstan. The lake is 2511 metres above sea level. During the exploration of the lake, everyone would easily notice the colour of the lake change according to the intensity of sunlight from light blue to heavy dark.
