South shore
The quieter side of the lake. Red-rock canyons such as Skazka, small villages, and yurt camps run by families who have hosted travellers for years, mostly through walk-ins and messages until now.
What to expect
- Family guesthouses and yurt camps, simple and welcoming
- Home-cooked food, local crafts and horse riding
- Fewer hotels and cafes than the north shore
- Best from June to September
