The Legend Of The Issyk Kul Lake's Lost Treasures
There are many legends surrounding this extraordinary lake in Kyrgyzstan - the sunken city of “Lyesh”, the “tears of the snow leopard” that lend the water its salinity, and finally about the name of the lake itself: Issyk Kul. The name means “hot lake”, because despite being at an altitude of over 1,600 meters it never freezes, not even in the coldest of winters; a remarkable natural phenomenon.
In this episode of "Lakes on the Roof of the World" we climb on treacherous paths to the mountain villages of the Terskey-Alatau range and discover the traditional way of life of the Kyrgyz shepherds, but above all, we learn about the life of the people living with and by Lake Issyk Kul.

“By far the largest lake in Asia.” Baikal shyly raises its hand.
Don't trust what Putin tells you! ;)
Largest in the world of freshwater
Baikal is saltwater I think
Koja je to vukojebina …
Baikal is freshwater.
Beautiful country... Social media brings us to a place we never heared before. I hope its prestine beauty will be preserved. From Philippines
Look up the "stan"countries. They're all clustered together NW of China and north of Iraq. They're a mixture of Middle Eastern and Sino Asian peoples. And most of them practice some form of Islam, but it's very a introverted practice, not expansionists.
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 This lake actually was part of China... All the way up to Lake Balkash. The Qing Dynasty ceded it to the Russian Empire in the 1800's
I enjoyed alot watching this documentary. Though i myself from a beautiful valley in Pakistan called Hunza Valley i always wish to travel to neighboring countries like Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and other central Asian countries. We have a common heritage. Love and respect for Kyrgys brothers and sisters.
That’s a beautiful place I’d like to visit.
my dream to visit those places ....my love from Greece!
How beautiful is my mother Earth.. We need to preserve and celebrate Her!
STOP WAR
I get warm in my heart of this documentary! The best wishes for this people who live by the lake!
The music and landscapes and the people. I loved it. Thank you.
you'd be abnormal if you didn't.
I really LOVE.......this country bless with landscape ,Mountains,beautiful lakes,Culture,green pastures,songs ,music,wild flowers .....i wish to visit this country one in lifetime .....Love from Meghalaya,North East (India )
I LOVE meghalaya, would love to visit beautiful Khasi hills, living tree root bridges and rainy cherrapunji one day. Love from Wales
@@dingbat7289 well I am shock haw do you know about Khasi Hills.... Khasi Hills is known as "Scotland of East" Meghalaya know as "Abode of Clouds"... Sohra & Mawsynram these two places received world's highest record of rainfall then and now
@@binsenlyngdoh2921 I know because my homeland has lots of connections with yours. Welsh missionaries brought Christianity to the Khasi hills
@@dingbat7289 yes that right David Scott and his Lovely wife, in the mid 1802 to 1832
@@binsenlyngdoh2921 Also I love Khasi folk music, duitara, tangmuri - there is an album of Welsh and Khasi folk music called 'Sai-thaiñ ki Sur by the Khasi-Cymru collective

While living in Europe and having seen a lot of its beauties (for me) NOTHING compares to this gem, this majestic country, its magnificent mountains and mountain passes, , and of course, 'THE PEARL OF ASIA' the Issyk-Köl lake every time i go there and on the approach of the lake i have tears of joy, but when leaving tears of sadness for having to miss this gem for yet an other couple of years :'( i was born in Bishkek and lived a small portion of my life there, and i woudn't trade it of any amount of money in my ID it says European, but my hearth and soul belong there if you're looking for a vacation place,this is it, there are much more breathtaking places then shown in this video if you like sunbathing, there is the lake with beaches and resorts if you like more of an active vaction, moutains and mountain passes with beautyfull vieuws is it from swimming or walking/climbing you'll be physicly exhausted but metally at peace :) and at last, THANK YOU to the creators of this video, it was a trip down memory lane (alltho its only been 2 months since i've been there)
i think i could live life like that.
What a great upload, thank you! I’ll watch this again.
wow....beautiful people and beautiful landscape....thank you!
who wouldn't want to live such simply happy life free from all electronics and debts
The music dubbed on this video is just pure work of ART!!!!
You are absolutely right! I look forward to finding it somewhere...
It doesn't even look real....like a post card. What a magical place, I'd love to visit one day.

We Love Kyrgyzstan and Our Family in Issykul!

What does salamat mean in your country? Salamat in the philippines mean - thanks
@@yardbored Salamat in Muslim countries means peace, from Arabic word Salam. But Salamat is used as a name, I think, not in Arabic countries but only in Central Asia, South Asia and Iran.
What a beautiful country.
beautiful people , beautiful place , don't destroy what ever built by the ancestor ...cheers

So many gorgeous mountains - how many of those peaks are ever climbed - there are too many to count ! The truck driving thru all those scenes looks so out of place ! Seeing so much beauty makes me very sad for what humans have done to this planet in so many places - here is how we are supposed to live !
Beautiful!! Thanks!

Short Fishing season shud b scheduled to avoid overfishing n its aftermaths... Polythene bags shud b baned in the country to keep it as clean as it is now...a check shud b made on the no. Of vehicles to ensure a clean environment in future... N so on coz its a v lovly n clean place
Vehicles need to be proliferated to industrialize the country and raise quality of life. Maybe it could be good to de-regulate electric vehicles, but regulate combustion. This would accelerate adoption of such pollution -reduced transports. Wind power seems like a safe and secure bet here.
1.16 the perfect picture.
02:35 Beautiful High Playgrounds
I was there in 2012. Great place
Did you trekking?
Beautiful doccie. What a stunning place! The title was misleading though...
Like from Pakistan chitral
great!
Every night I visit magical places while lying in my bed.
Wow
I wish that we could take on a restoration of the ancient silk road. With so much archaeological evidence, we have a good idea how most of the sites appeared and food habits haven't changed that much in less developed parts of the world. So, recreating it wouldn't be difficult. The entire length of it could become a super theme park, enhanced with historical education centers, where one can study languages and archaeology. The incentive to keep local aesthetics would be strong, as we could critique them based on aesthetic authenticity (even as they hide modern conveniences behind walls and other props). I think this would stir pride along the road and might even cool tension in hot spots.
GaslitWorld f. Melissa B I think commercial greed would totally spoil it.
good documentary ...Kyrgyzstan
Lake Baikal is biggest fresh water Lake in World.
بارك الله في أهلنا وإخواننا في قرقيسزتان اللهم لك الحمد على نعمة الإسلام ونعمة لاإله إلاالله محمد رسول لله

Great Eurasian people great ancestors
GOSTEI DA PAISAGEM MUITO BONITO O LUGAR NAO ENTENDI O IDIOMA O QUE ELES FALAVAM SOU BRASILEIRO MAS MESMO ASSIM VALEU
What an absolutely beautiful doc! Sad ending b/c of the lamb sacrifice but I adored everything else.
♥️
Surprised 👏
I love yurts
Amazing how no matter how far afield a culture is, they somehow adopt western uniforms for their professions. Surely, the idea of a captain or *man in charge* existed before encounters with the west. Perhaps it's universal that we see that grass as greener on the other side of the fence. I am so impressed with the military garb worn in ancient Korea, Japan and Mongolia. I can't imagine not being proud to wear it and yet I'm an American. So, what can I say, people are drawn to novelty.
Plus plenty of loanwords are used in English. Words like "admiral" are common, yet have their origins in prior sea-faring cultures.
I want to ride a horse from California to here.
I'll join you. Pick me from Ontario plz
I'll follow in a 4X4, as undoubtedly the horse would die from such a journey.
How will you cross the ocean? When you do cross the ocean where will you disembark to begin riding again?will you cross from California to New York, ride across America or take a different approach?
The hu!!!!☀️👍
only complaint is that full screen mode isn't activated. I've noticed lately several videos that have this problem.

Wonderful video, what are the requierments to visit Kyrgystan ?
I think, if you go to border, you get entry Visa on the spot
Can I get the soundtrack music by Georg Siebert? Does she publish it as mp3 or as a CD
These Kyrgyz have beautiful horses.
Do they jump?
🙏🏻❤️😘🇰🇬
Great vlog, TOO LOUD MUSIC, sometimes your voiceover is too, way too loud and makes your information ca not be heard. Thanks for the vlog, I still can travel at 75 y/o and not stand in airline lines! Thank you!
🥰
very good potential for TOURISM ........let's develop it together,. cheers
