When is the best time to visit Kanas Lake?

The best time of Kanas Lake: the average annual temperature in Kanas is only 4℃, and the average temperature in January is -24℃. Even if you go in summer, you should prepare some warm clothes. What I really want to appreciate the natural beauty of Kanas is the sea of flowers in June and the golden autumn in September.

Kanas will be closed in 10, and only sledges can enter. However, there are also adventurous travelers who make full mental and material preparations and enter Kanas before closing the mountain to spend the long isolated winter with the locals.

In June, Kanas began to enter the spring, with lush vegetation and blooming mountain flowers, red peony and willow herb safflower everywhere, golden lotus, tulip and buttercup, delphinium, iris, delphinium and forget-me-not, tall windproof and wild carrot umbrella flowers.

Kanas is Mongolian, which means beautiful, rich and mysterious. It is located in the dense forest of Altai Mountain. The lake is1374m above sea level and covers an area of 44.78km2, which is 10 times larger than the famous Bogda Tianchi, and the deepest part of the lake is about180m. The lake is blue, the peaks are reflected, and the color of the lake will change from time to time with the change of season and weather. It is a famous color-changing lake with picturesque scenery every autumn.
