Big Almaty Lake (BAO) - autumn version (without snow) - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, 3.0 liter, 1993
A very beautiful lake when it is not covered by ice and snow. Last year, in December, I was here, but the crust of ice did not allow me to feel that beauty — ( www.drive2.ru/cars/toyota...4062246863888213241/#post )
This Saturday (Oct. 2, 2010) we decided to climb to the lake.
Moreover, more and more rumors that they would make a protected area and stop letting mere mortals in, were haunted by just flying past such an opportunity and when else to visit here)
It was decided to leave early, while there were no people, to drop in freely and just as freely rest.
There was no one at the post just above the Alpine Rose. I passed freely, but there were 2 border guards with machine guns almost on the very last bridge in front of the lake.
They checked the certificates, they said not to go behind the signs.
They make a road, almost an autobahn
This is already climbing to view the lake from above.
Height, nothing else matters
Parody of last year's photo

2 important comrades on board
The point from which the photo was also taken in winter. General view of the lake.
A bit of Toyota
We walked until 12, we go down, there are no border guards anymore.
There are already a crowd of cars on the Alpine Rose, they don’t let anyone in. People walk around this post. Cars along the roadside.
Well, what can I say, the saying worked - whoever gets up early is a walker on the lake)))
I have been dreaming of getting there for a very long time)) How are you with spare parts for UAZs?

Beauty! The color of the water is amazing. And serpentines))
If you are talking about serpentines in the background, then if you drive further along them, you can get through the mountains to the next lake - Issyk Kul.
Yes, it will be hard for you on your own. there are places where you sit on the bottom.
They don’t let you in already, but if you go early in the morning, then maybe you’ll be lucky like us, the border guards will still sleep)
cool! I would also like to go) but I’m unlikely to pass)))
so they don’t let anyone in there anymore?
It probably didn't exist in the late 60s.
A! I remembered there was a video from pokatushek in that area.
Beauty! My parents lived for several years in Alma-Ata, and I even managed to be born there. But I left too early, I don't remember anything.
The strongest impressions of parents are mountains. And the lake. And also the mudflow threat and the Madeo skating rink.
Maybe after the Asian Games they will calm down and allow passage.
Zhypies is the same
Yes, beauty. Too bad it won't be possible to go there now.
Some kind of cool yellow device
Well, okay)
there were potholes like a ditch in the city) apparently they had already been leveled by your arrival)
Here I am just driving at this time when they were making this road. We drove on a puzoterke even with lowered springs =)
And just do love to go there at night in the winter. Sometimes we get together on all-wheel drive and climb up to the lake after snow. Or it’s interesting to ride to Lake Issyk in winter at night.
Thanks for the story. I am planning a trip in May to those parts. It can be seen from the text that they are not allowed to go further than the Alpine Rose? In this case, does it make sense to go there, I wanted to drive through all the neighborhoods.
Please tell us what is the practice of traveling to the space station to the west and along the roads to the east. The lake itself is not as interesting as the surroundings.
