Song Kul is a high alpine lake in the Tian Shan Mountains of Kyrgyzstan.
[edit] Understand
It is the second largest lake in Kyrgyzstan (18x29km wide, 13 meters deep) after Issyk kul. Its name, meaning "following lake", is popularly considered to refer to this relation. It is surrounded by a broad summer pasture and then mountains. The area is inhabited and safely accessible only from June to September.
[edit] Get in
Its beauty is greatly praised, but it is rather inaccessible. The best approach seems to be the 85 km road from Sary-Bulak on the main north-south highway. Other routes require 4x4s.

There are no facilities on the lake, but local herders will provide supplies and rent yurts.
