Translated to mean ‘warm lake’, Issyk Kul is surrounded by snow capped mountains, yet edged by sand beaches and its melted snow water is warmed when mingling with hot springs. A popular Soviet era resort, the grand hotels have now been replaced by more modest boarding houses but the clean sandy stretches of beach haven’t changed.
