"The lake is in Kungei Kayndy Alatau at an altitude of 1867 meters above sea level in a thick pine forest. The lake is about 400 meters and a maximum depth of 30 meters. The Kazakh language is Kaindy - "Birch". This is the name given to the lake from the big birch grove, planted once the people in the five kilometers away. Although it is famous not because of this and because of its beautiful color of the water. A famous lake Kaindy its origin, it was formed in 1911 as a result of a strong earthquake that triggered a landslide blocked the valley. Water flooded the gorge and coniferous trees were flooded, but not completely. This lake and attracts the attention of tourists. The dried tops of spruce stands proudly above the surface of the lake Kaindy and give it a special charm and beauty. The lake water is very cold, causing the needles of trees is well preserved and it can be clearly seen through the transparent surface of the water. All this mystical splendor of the lake is impossible to convey in words, there should definitely go and see everything with your own eyes. »

On the lake there is some special power that makes coming here more than once. It's a pity but in the summer of 2010 was agricultural and washed away part of the natural dam. The water level dropped by 2 meters. In the words of the huntsman, in spite of everything will have to do a man-made dam, and to raise the water level to the previous level.
