Each of the seven lakes has its own name. We will start with Lake Nezhigon, then visit the lakes of Soya, Gushor, Nafin, Hurdak, the largest of them all - Margurz, and the last one, called "the thousand springs" - Khazorchama. Almost all the lakes are of the Zavala type. What is it and which of the seven is not a Zavala, I will tell you on the trip. And I will also show the ancient petroglyphs found on the shore, which indicates the venerable age of the bodies of water.

Since the lakes are located in the Fan Mountains, the difference in elevation between them is significant - 760 m. The lowest is at an altitude of 1,640 m above sea level, the lowest is at 2,400 m. We will visit all seven lakes on a comfortable off-roader: we will drive along the Serpentine, We will enjoy the best views and have a light picnic in a picturesque place.
