Getting There

Car
If you're driving from Naryn town, head southwest on the A365 highway. After approximately 30 kilometers, take the turnoff to the right onto a dirt road leading towards Kara-Suu Lake. The lake is about 15 kilometers from the main road. The road may be rough, so a 4WD vehicle is recommended. Follow the signs along the dirt road until you reach the lake. Look out for local landmarks, like small villages along the way, which can help confirm your route.

Public Transportation
From Naryn town, take a marshrutka (shared taxi) heading towards the village of At-Bashy, which departs from the main bus station. The journey takes about 1.5 hours and costs around 50 KGS. Ask the driver to drop you off at the turnoff for Kara-Suu Lake. From there, you can either walk approximately 15 kilometers along the dirt road or negotiate a ride with local drivers who may be familiar with tourists needing transport to the lake.

Hiking
If you're feeling adventurous and are already near the lake, you can hike from nearby villages such as At-Bashy. The hike will take about 4-5 hours depending on your pace and the exact starting point. Ensure you have good hiking boots, water, and snacks. Carry a map or GPS device, since the trails may not be well-marked. Make sure to start early in the day to ensure you have enough time to return before dark.
