The Chokoly Lakes or Chokoli-Kol Lakes are a group of a dozen lakes on the south side of the Juuku Pass. Only the large lake on the east side has a river flowing into the Arabel Suu River. The length of the largest lake is about 3 km.

As soon as you wake up and decide to look out of the tent, you are immediately greeted by an incredible view of the lake, which, like a natural mirror, beckons with its beauty in the early morning.

Probably this is one of the most beautiful places, which is great for camping.

Here, at an altitude of 3500 m, the lakes are perfectly combined with each other with amazingly clear water, unimaginable green-brown expanses with grazing argali and ice caps that seem to be very close.

Transparent and pure water cannot but arouse admiration for how smart and talented our nature is, which has created such beautiful corners of our amazing planet.
