Tengrinews.kz - A resident of Kazakhstan captured video footage of two scenic lakes located near the city of Karkaraly in the Karaganda region. To learn more about these natural sites, Tengrinews.kz reached out to the press service of the Karkaraly National Park.
The video
The picturesque lakes of the Karkaraly area were filmed by a local resident named Olzhas. He explained that the filming took several days, from August 5 to 10.
“I’m originally from this region. The nature here is incredibly beautiful! I want tourism to grow so that more people can come and see this beauty with their own eyes. If services improve further, Karkaraly will truly become an attractive destination for travelers,” Olzhas shared.
In the comments on the video, users praised the beauty of the lakes while also urging future visitors to take care of the environment and not leave trash behind.
- “Visitors, please clean up after yourselves and don’t scatter garbage.”
- “How lucky we are to live surrounded by such divine beauty!”
- “The lakes are already heavily polluted.”
What the national park says
To get detailed information about the scenic lakes Shaitankol and Tas Ertegisi, Tengrinews.kz contacted the Karkaraly National Park.
“Lake Shaitankol is located southwest of the city of Karkaraly, within the ‘Tau’ forestry area. The distance to the lake is 7 kilometers, and with stops, the route takes about three hours. The lake sits on Bugyly Mountain at an elevation of 1,200 meters above sea level. It is 60 meters long and 40 meters wide. The cliffs surrounding the lake on the south, west, and north sides reach about 10 meters in height,” the park explained.
The second lake, Tas Ertegisi, is surrounded by pine forest. It is also located at an elevation of 1,200 meters and lies 4.5 kilometers from the city of Karkaraly.
Earlier, Kazakh photographer Dmitry Dotsenko unveiled a series of breathtaking images of the Altai Mountains, capturing landscapes that look more like paintings than photographs.
