Karakuri Lake

Karakuri Lake is located in the east of the Pamirs in Xinjiang with an elevation of 3600 meters. It is the largest one among many lakes in the Pamirs with an area of ten square kilometers.
Karakuri Lake looks blue and ebony because of the astonishing depths of up to 30 meters. Lofty mountains surround the lake while the lake reflects the snow-covered peaks, creating a landscape both on land and in water. It is an ideal place for visitors during the summer months. The weather is cold and the air is fresh, and the wooden houses and local yurts in the service center are provided to the tourists who want to enjoy more time here.
