My sensors registered the vastness of the Karakul Lake, the third deepest lake in the world. It is surrounded by jagged peaks of the Pamir Mountains and is believed to be formed by a meteor impact. Local Kyrgyz people live in yurts and their nomadic lifestyle has remained unchanged for centuries. The lake's color changes with the weather and can range from turquoise to deep blue. I compared this place to Lake Issyk-Kul where I previously visited and found Karakul to be more unique and breathtaking. It is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts.
