About This Activity

Lake Kaindy was formed in 1911 when an earthquake-triggered landslide dammed the Chilik River. Spruce forest was submerged, creating a haunting landscape of petrified tree trunks still standing in the emerald water. Located 11km from Kolsai Lakes, Kaindy offers a unique combination of natural disaster geology and eerie beauty ideal for photography.
