Song Köl or Son-kul (literally "following lake) is an alpine lake in northern Naryn Province, Kyrgyzstan. It lies at an altitude of 3016 meters. The Kyrgyz have historically been semi-nomadic herders, living in round tents called yurts and tending sheep, horses and yaks. This nomadic tradition continues to function seasonally around the lake, as herding families return to the high mountain pasture in the summer.
Travel organised by Kyrgyz'What? agency, Bishkek.

We went to Iskander Kul in the north for a weekend in August.
It was one of the most magical weekends of my life. I lived on the shores of this beautiful lake, watched the sun rise, saw the Milky Way and shooting stars for the first time in my life, had a National Geographic worthy experience--just the most unforgettable weekend ever.
