The Blue Lakes are one of the most visited natural attractions of the republic, and our travel agency invites you on an excursion that will reveal all the secrets of this unique place.

The complex consists of five karst lakes, but the main one is the Lower Blue Lake, or Tserik-Kel. Its depth exceeds two hundred and seventy meters, making it one of the deepest karst lakes in the world. The water here has an incredible sapphire hue that does not change even in cloudy weather, and its temperature stays around nine degrees Celsius all year round. You will learn about a sunken truck resting on the lake’s bottom and hear a legend about a dragon dwelling in its depths. The route continues to the Upper Blue Lakes, which, unlike the Lower one, are rich in fish and surrounded by dense forests. Here you can feed trout, walk along wooden boardwalks, and enjoy the silence of mountain nature. Along the way, the guide will tell about the origin of the lakes and why divers from all over the world come here in search of solving the mysteries of Tserik-Kel’s underwater caves.
