Chagytai Lake, Protected lake in Tandinsky District, Russia.
Chagytai Lake is a protected body of water in Tandinsky District, located in the Tuva Republic. The water features rocky and sandy shorelines alongside marshy zones where purple willows grow in the wetland areas.
The lake received protected status during the Russian Imperial period and has remained designated as a nature reserve since then. This designation shaped its long-term preservation and ecological integrity.
Local residents of Tuva Republic consider Chagytai Lake a natural monument, integrating it into their traditional relationship with water bodies.
The lake sits south of Kyzyl, the regional capital, making it accessible from the city center. Visit during warmer months when pathways are passable and weather conditions remain more stable.
The water body sits at about 1000 meters elevation in a Siberian mountain region. This altitude influences the climate and the special plant life around the lake system.
