As we crested the mountain pass and drove down toward Iskanderkul, we understood why this lake is so popular. Dushanbe is only km south of Iskanderkul, making the lake a popular weekend spot for people from the city. We were travelling to Iskanderkul from the north having just trekked between the beautiful Seven Lakes Haft Kul. Whether you drive from either direction, the final stretch to reach the lake is through a deep, narrow canyon with bright red cliffs on either side. The road was rough, with many potholes and steep drop-offs. Note : Kul is the word for lake in many of the Central Asian languages so you will read this word a few times in our Central Asia posts. Therefore, the name translates in English to Lake Alexander. Like many places in Central Asia, the formation of Iskanderkul comes with a legend. After he conquered this area, the local community rebelled against his army. The legend says that he was so incensed at this reaction that he ordered the river to be dammed so that their village would be flooded. Not only did the newly formed lake cover the village in water, but it also drowned many of the villagers. Those who survived rebelled again. To this day, the legend says that at on the night of a full moon the horse comes out of the lake at midnight to graze along the shore. Another version says that in the winter when the lake freezes, the horse can be seen running across the ice. Unfortunately, the legend may not be true. As with the Seven Lakes , Iskanderkul was formed when earthquakes caused landslides that dammed the Sarytag River and created the lake. Because of the legend, the lake is named after Alexander the Great. However it was formed, today it is a beautiful glacier fed lake surrounded by the high peaks of the Hisser Range in the Fann Mountains. It is said to be one of the prettiest lakes in Tajikistan. Once we saw it for ourselves, we had to agree. Its actual name is Chulboi and its distinctive rounded peak makes it very picturesque. You could spend your day relaxing by the water and soaking in the views, but there are also a lot of other things to explore around the lake. Here are a few suggestions. Hike To A Viewpoint. At the east end of the lake there are a few hikes that take you higher up the mountainsides for great views of the landscape. The trails can be seen on Maps. The one we did begins near the bridge in the village and climbs up one of the hills. There is another viewpoint on the other side of the river. As well as formal trails, the arid open mountain sides around the lake provide perfect opportunities to create your own viewpoint. We hiked up the slopes on one of the other peaks for views of the lake from a different angle. You can go as high as you feel comfortable. Watching the sun rise above the mountain peaks and slowly bring the mountains to life will be one of the best parts of your day at Iskanderkul. The best views of the lake, at least when we were there, were at sunrise when the lake is as still as glass. Seeing the reflection of the multiple layers of softly lit mountains was one of the best reasons to wake up early. It became one of our favourite views. Iskanderkul Waterfall. The large glacier fed lake drains into a fast-moving river. Not far from the village is a small trail that takes you through a small canyon made by Iskanderkul River. At the end of the trail, the river drops from a cliff making a powerful waterfall. A rickety Soviet built platform lets you get right above the falls. From higher up however, the platform obstructs the view of the falls. Regardless of how much of the falls you can see, it is a nice walk and not a bad way to spend an hour or so. Walk Around The Lakeshore. The road goes almost the entire way around the lake. A nice objective if you want to go for a walk is the peninsula on the south shore. At the end of the peninsula is a memorial for four climbers who died in attempting one of the local mountains. We hiked up the mountain behind the memorial for more gorgeous views of the lake. From there we also have a nice view down a different valley behind the lake. When we were there, a few hundred Choughs circled around us. We had never seen such large flocks of these black birds before or since. Sarytag Village. Set below the majestic Sarytag Mountain is the small village of Sarytag. The hike up to the village follows a gravel road that crosses a mountain pass. The surrounding mountains are very colourful and the combination of the red rocks and green trees makes it a very pretty walk. On the way we were surprised to see a lovely waterfall coming down from the Kanchoch River. It made a commanding forceful drop through the red canyon to the river below. From the top of the pass there is a great view of the village spread out below Sarytag Mountain. The village has become popular as a base for people doing multi-day hikes in the Fann mountains. Not far from the pass are a few traditional mud homes. They are no longer lived in, but are interesting to see. Zmeinoe Lake. Above the village of Iskanderkul is a small lake that seems to be a popular hike. It was a great place to enjoy a Tajik beer. The funny part was that the beer came in a one litre plastic bottle like a coke. Getting to Iskanderkul. The road is very good until you reach the turn-off at Sarvoda. You may have to switch mini-buses at Ayer. From Sarvoda you have to take another private or share-taxi to Iskanderkul. Some suggest that you can get a cheaper ride from the turn-off for the lake which is a kilometer or two south of Sarvoda. Where to stay in Iskanderkul. The remote lake has a few options to stay, but none are luxurious. Where the road arrives at the lake is a small collection of hotels and cottages often referred to as Iskanderkul Village. Halfway around the lake is a nice family run guesthouse called Khayom, where we stayed. Every morning we had a peaceful breakfast on a tapchan over the lake. Be warned though, the lake is busy on weekends and any place can get noisy. To read about our other adventures in Tajikistan click here. Coming Next — Discover Dushanbe.

Thanks for sharing Maggie. Lovely location! I enjoyed the reflection photos from the various angles. Also the two waterfalls are really pretty! Mountains, waterfalls, lakes… What else could one want to see while hiking? Your photos of this lovely place are outstanding. I just love following your adventures! What a fabulous place! Like Liked by 2 people. Wow, Iskanderkul Lake is definitely a stunner. It would be a great place to chill, bathe in the sun, read a book or just enjoy the reflection of the surrounding mountains in the lake. And I love how the lake is surrounded by beautifully-shaped rocky peaks. What a picturesque place. Being glacier fed, I imagine Iskanderkul was icy and I would have opted for hikes too. But we still prefered to walk rather than swim. I actually had to look it up because I thought it was a fictional place. The dictionary definition of rugged, sculpted, dramatic and plenty more. The water at Iskanderkul is amazing, almost like a lava lamp. What an incredible setting for some memorable hiking. So true, it should Iskanderkul in the dictionary after those. Absolutely stunning! And what a great place to relax and recharge; no wonder the president has two retreats in the area. How long will you be traveling there? The views, the colorful terrain and hills…what a gorgeous land…Wow. The waterfall is fantastic. Great photos. I love the rose. The ground throughout most of the country is very dry. Thanks Suzette! Love that shot of Sarytag village. Just imagine how different the life of those village dwellers is from the rest of us. Looking down at Sarytag village was like looking at a painting of the perfect mountain town. But it would be more than difficult to live there, not at all the idyllic place of my dreams. We loved our trip through Central Asia, and still more to come: Maggie. The landscape of Iskanderkul is eerily beautiful. I enjoyed the tale about Alexander the Great. And your photography does it so much justice. Are these places hidden away from the mainstream tourists? Thank you so much! Thanks for your comment Paul, Maggie. The view of layers of mountains getting reflected on the Iskanderkul are stunning and you had a wonderful hike around the area. Thanks for this amazing image of this lake and so interesting. This landscape was so photogenic. WOW — absolutely incredible. The landscape is magnificent and so off the beaten track, you have convinced me to visit. That lake looks spectacular, and your photos are beautiful. Central Asia is one of the last frontiers of travel. Thanks for sharing. Thanks Jeff! The landscapes in Tajikistan are so incredible. We loved travelling through Central Asia. What another fascinating place and experience for you. Had to research Choughs, beautiful birds. Beer in a plastic bottle. Hopefully, it was good. How did you find out about this place and did you rent a car? Great informative post. The beer was much better than we expected given that it comes in a plastic coke bottle! When you start researching Tajikistan Iskanderkul is one of the first places recommended. You could drive in the north quite easily, but to the Pamirs would be very stressful. We took minibuses, taxis and hitchhiked in the country. People are used to hitchhiking and like to share the cost of their drive so expect payment. Considering it for a future trip?? Yes, once we are based in Spain. The target date is January to move to Alicante. There is great information on Iskanderkul on Google. This spot is even more impressive than the Seven Lakes. I knew nothing of Tajikistan before your posts. Thanks for the views. I love that moody, cloudy color of the water. And the sunrise over the mountains and lake is really striking! The colour comes from the glaciers that are high above. Sunrise provided our favourite views. Thanks for you comments! Day after day on this trip, you found new gems. How long were you there overall the whole region? I fear I could never be gone long enough to get in so many countries and so much within each country. I am so inspired by your trip! There are so many gems in Central Asia we were astounded too! We were in Central Asia for just over 2 months. For a hiker, mountain lover like you, Tajikistan should be high on your list, even over Kyrgyzstan. So good to know. Your first photo and some of the others looks almost unnatural — beautiful. I love the color of the lakes. The landscape looks almost alien — I have never seen anything quite like it. I know, the colour of the glacier lakes and the brown mountains is very foreign to us too, but makes for fantastic views. Thanks for your comments Kerry. You got some brilliant shots! This place is truly amazing. I think its beauty surpasses the Seven Lakes and the Pamir Highway. I wonder why he need two retreats. He can travel around the lake in no time boats, cars, or helicopters. The scenery is immense with so little human presence and so dry. But what was Alexander doing so far from the beauty of ancient Greece? Hello, thanks a lot for this post. Great to have such a long time to spend in each country. I wanted to ask for advise: — I plan to spend 1 full day around Haft Kul with a private car — I was wondering to spend another full day from Panjakent to Iskanderkul and spend the full day there and… — Next morning travel back to Penjakent and cross to Samarkand after lunch. Would it be redundant to go to both Haft Kul and Iskanderkul? Is it possible to go from Haftkul last lake to Iskanderkul by car? Oh wow! So do I understand you will be arriving and leaving through the border between Panjakent and Samarkand? It is definitely not redundant to do both lake areas as they are very different. The car would wait for you at lake 6 while you hike up to 7. There is only one gravel road that goes between lakes 1 to 6 so you would go all the way back to Lake 1 to get out. Then, the road from the highway to Iskanderkul is also gravel but is more heavily used and is in better condition. There are a couple of hotels near the beginning of the lake. So yes you can drive between the two areas, they are both off the main Panjakent-Dushanbe Highway. What time of year? Have fun! Thanks a lot for your answer! So, if I had two choices: 1. It is a walk on a gravel road. I would go to both. Type your email….
