The name of the lake in Tajikistan comes from the name "Iskander" (meaning "Alexander") and the word "kul" ("lake"). Some legends say that the reservoir got its name since the Great Alexander visited it during a campaign to India from Central Asia. And after Iskander Zulkarnain visited here, due to the obvious consonance, the name was changed to Iskanderkul. The lake located in the northern part of the country, in the Sugd region. The distance from the capital of Tajikistan is more than 180 kilometers along a high-altitude and quite decent highway. Along the way, you can see fascinating natural landscapes with snow-capped mountain tops rushing into the deep blue of the sky. A lot of touris...
