Kyrgyz Republic Vast steppes, Lake Song-Kul

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

There is hardly another region like Lake Song-Kul where you can marvel at the vast highland grasslands like here. From early summer, farmers settle here in their yurts and live their traditional nomadic life. A good chance to get to know this way of life.

Photography Tips

With the drone panorama you get the vastness of this quite untouched highland well on a picture. Pay attention to the layout in the picture. The image looks more dynamic with a 20% sky setting than a 50/50 mix.

Have a valid drone license with you.

Travel Information

The pass road, which opens in early summer, will take you from the capital Bishkek to this lake in just over three hours by almost any car. There are several yurt camps on site where you can spend the night. Small signs at the side of the road indicate that there are places to sleep. There is always a place available.
