Karakul Lake is a high-altitude lake in eastern Tajikistan, situated in the Pamir Mountains near the village of Karakul. The lake lies at roughly 3,900 meters above sea level within a broad, treeless landscape of rocky plains and high mountain ranges. Its name means “Black Lake” in Turkic, although its water can appear deep blue, green, or turquoise depending on the light. Karakul is the largest lake by surface area in the Pamirs and is part of the wider Tajik National Park.
