    Seven Lakes

    Discover the breathtaking beauty of the Seven Lakes (Haft Kul), located in the heart of the Fan Mountains near Marguzor. Each of the seven lakes has its own unique color, depth, and character — ranging from turquoise to deep blue — surrounded by dramatic cliffs and lush valleys. During the visit, travelers will stop at each lake for short breaks to take photos, enjoy the scenery, and learn about the local legends behind the lakes. At the final lake, you’ll have time to relax, enjoy your packed lunch, or take an optional one-hour hike along the peaceful mountain trails before heading back.
