“At the very top of the Pamir Highway, at an altitude of 3914 meters, lies Lake Karakul – the ‘Black Lake.’

Lake Karakul has an extensive area of ​​380 square kilometers. In the center lies a huge island, which divides Karakul into two parts: the eastern part has a moderate depth of 22 meters and smooth shores, while the western side is steeper, with a maximum depth of up to 236 meters. Despite its non-flowing origin, Karakul is fed by water from surrounding mountain glaciers and has salty water. In summer, the water temperature in the lake is 12 degrees Celsius, while in winter it drops closer to zero, and the lake freezes over with a thick layer of ice, sometimes reaching a meter in thickness.

The beauty of Lake Karakul captivates not only with its bright blue color but also with the breathtaking landscape reflected in its waters. DWC tour company invites you on an unforgettable journey to Lake Karakul to enjoy this unique natural beauty.
