One of the prominent tourist attractions is Sukhna lake, a 3 sq. km rainfed man-made lake built in 1958 by diverting the Sukhna Choe. It is also the longest water stretch in Asia for rowing and yachting competitions. Though the lake is open for tourists throughout the year, the best time to visit would be from December through February when many aquatic birds from Central Asia and Siberia migrate to the Sukhna lake.
