Lake Bele is one of the most famous places for summer holidays in Khakassia. To get to it from the city of Abakan, you will need to overcome 180 kilometers, and this is not so much. The whole journey will take only a couple of hours. During the trip, which is important, it will be possible to admire the magnificent, bewitching landscapes, in particular the steppes, over which mounds rise here and there - ancient cultural monuments of Khakassia.
East and West Bele
Bele consists of two large lakes - Eastern and Western. They are connected by a small channel. Tourists like East Lake more, as the conditions here are much better, so it is not surprising that its banks are literally strewn with tents and various buildings. If you see a lot of houses in a separate area, then this is a recreation center. Lake Bele attracts tourists like a magnet, so residential buildings here are never empty. Many people come here every year.
The purest lake with healing water
The best month to visit Bele is July: at this time it is almost always sunny and cloudless, and the water temperature is 22 °C. The lake is remarkable in that it is almostpolluted. The water here is absolutely transparent. The reservoir is also famous for its mineralized composition, which contains Glauber's s alt, famous for its healing properties.
It is enough to rest on Bela for one day to get rid of blisters, scratches and minor wounds. In addition, many people who are prone to headaches feel much better here, they feel more alert and full of energy. Of course, the best choice for them is some cozy recreation center. Lake Bele is truly magnificent, so many people start planning their trip in early spring. I would like to be here as soon as possible. It is worth thinking about living conditions in advance.
Active Leisure
It is not necessary to lie on the sand and sunbathe all the time, because active recreation is also possible on Bela. It is recommended to go to the main beach - there is a rental of scooters, motor boats, catamarans, as well as water skis. Nearby is a disco bar, which hosts daily dance evenings dedicated to a specific theme (house, r'n'b, retro).
This establishment is open from 23:00 to 03:00, you won't have to pay an entrance fee. It is a pity that the visitors of the disco bar, having danced enough, cannot get up early the next morning to go meet the dawn on Lake Bele. Khakassia is charming, especially in the rays of the rising sun.
Martian Landscape
A kilometer from the lake there is a hill, climbing which in the morning, you can admire the incredible,fabulous spectacle. The locals call it "the Martian landscape". Lakes, located not far away, resemble plates of aliens. And the hills look like lunar craters. The picture is complemented by scarlet sunbeams. This must be seen with your own eyes. Particularly impressive, of course, is Lake Bele, which lies below. Khakassia is an amazing land, and everyone who has ever been here knows this.
Tent or house?
In the vicinity of the lake there are several cafes and shops where you can buy food. Tourists love the red wine that is sold here. East Bele consists of two zones. At the entrance there is a barrier separating them. One side is intended for "wild" camping, and the second is notable for good tourist bases. Many people want to rent a nice wooden house near the lake for the weekend. In this case, it is recommended to think about the trip in advance.
Already in the middle of spring, almost all the houses are booked. You can, of course, just put up a tent on the shore and camp in it, but some are embarrassed by the numerous neighbors and the music that never stops until dawn. This is not how many imagine an ideal holiday on Lake Bele. Khakassia is hospitable, it is ready to accept everyone without exception, but sometimes people come here, causing outrage among others. Better stay away from them.
Khakas yurt
The cost of the house will depend on the tour operator and the base where you plan to stay. In addition, you can rent a real national yurt, in whichKhakasses used to live. Many are attracted by ethnic style. The yurt can accommodate four people. The price of such a dwelling on Saturdays and Sundays is 1500 rubles per day. Before the trip, you need to find out exactly what tourist bases are here. Lake Bele is a very popular area, so be aware that all places to stay can be filled.
Tourist base "Wild Coast"
This recreation center is located in the Republic of Khakassia, namely, in the Shirinsky district. It opens in May and closes in September. The conditions here are quite satisfactory. There are three summer houses built of wood, which are designed for 20 people. The base also has a tent camp. The cottages have beds and cutlery. If necessary, a tourist can ask for a refrigerator, and it will be provided immediately. There are showers and toilets on site. Lighting here generator. Of course, almost no one sits in the rooms - everyone gathers on the beach. Lake Bele, a holiday on which is remembered for a lifetime, makes people admire its beauties, no one remains indifferent to it.

Tourists eat on their own. However, you can go to another base located nearby - there is a dining room with a wide range of dishes. But you don't always want to go there. Well, in this case, you can just look at the store located nearby. They sell food and household goods. "Wild Coast" pleasantly surprises with some useful services, for example, hereyou can rent a rowboat or a catamaran. Those who do not want to take a shower can visit the bathhouse located at the neighboring tourist base. There is an agreement allowing its use.
Sports lovers can play football and volleyball - there are all conditions for this. There are several beaches on the lake: fine-grained, sandy, and also grassy. Everyone chooses a place to rest, based on their taste. There is one area on the lake, which is called the “Riga seaside”. This is shallow water, located quite far from the coast. Lake Bele sometimes surprises uninformed tourists.
Entertainment, games, excursions
Many vacationers spend all their time on the beach, literally without leaving. But lying on the sand all day is quite tiring, so some people still ride boats and catamarans. Sports games are also very popular. Tourists are given special brochures with information about excursions, and many are eager to see interesting places located nearby.
You need to know that there are no phones at the base. But it's not scary. After all, almost everyone now has mobile phones. There is also no access to the Internet, but some believe that this is even for the better - there is an opportunity to take a break from the virtual world. Lake Bele is an ideal place for relaxation, here you can feel the unity with nature.
Bolshoi Ples is another good recreation center
This tourist base is spread over10 hectares. You can live here in cute summer houses designed for two, four and six people. The distance between them is large enough, so people should be comfortable. The houses are built from timber. If this option does not suit you, you can stay in a small hotel. From the base to the lake to go very close - only 100 meters.
You need to know that each house has only one room, but there is also a veranda, from which you can admire the lake and the magnificent local landscape. In total, 170 people can rest in the "Big Plyos". Check-in here is at 21:00, and check-out is at 19:00. Many tourists who leave Lake Bele swear they will come back again and again.

The buildings on the territory of the base are almost the same. The rooms have beds, hooks for things, a mirror and a shelf. On the veranda there is a table, a washstand, a bedside table, chairs and a water container. Shower and toilet are separate.
