Lake Kaindy

Lake Kaindy (Kazakh: Қайыңды көлі, Qayıñdı köli), meaning the "falling rocks/landslide lake" is a 400 metres long lake located 129 kilometres east-southeast of the city of Almaty in Kazakhstan that reaches depths near 30 metres in some areas. The lake was created as a result of an enormous limestone landslide caused by the earthquake of 1911 in Chon-Kemin. The road to Lake Kaindy has several panoramic views of the Saty Gorge, the Chilik Valley, and the Kaindy Gorge.
