"black lake")[1] is a lake located 196 km southwest of Kashgar,[2] Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. It is located in Akto County, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture on the Karakoram Highway, before reaching Tashkurgan, the Khunjerab Pass on the China - Pakistan border and Sost in Pakistan. At an altitude of 3,600 m, it is the highest lake of the Pamir plateau, near the junction of the Pamir, Tian Shan and Kunlun mountain ranges. Surrounded by mountains which remain snow-covered throughout the year, the three highest peaks visible from the lake are the Muztagh Ata (7,546 m), Kongur Tagh (7,649 m) and Kongur Tiube (7,530 m). The lake is popular among travellers for its scenery and the clarity of its reflection in the water, whose color ranges from a dark green to azure and light blue.{{fact|date=January 2019}} There are two Kirgiz settlements along the shore of Karakul lake, a small number of yurts about 1 km east of the bus drop-off point and a village with stone houses located on the western shores. {{Chinese|s=喀拉库勒湖 |t=喀拉庫勒湖 |p=Kālākùlēi Hú |altname=Abbreviation |c2=喀拉湖 |p2=Kālā Hú |lang1=Kirghiz |lang1_content=Қарoкул }} Footnotes1. ^Bonavia (2004), p. 348. 2. ^Bonavia (2004), p. 337.
