2. Services We Provide
Witness the miracle of harvest on the frozen lake—Chagan Lake's winter fishing is a breathtaking symphony of nature, tradition, and strength. Every winter, a km-long fishing net is slowly drawn beneath the icy surface until thousands of pounds of fresh fish burst through the ice like a silver waterfall, with mist and vitality swirling in the crisp air. This is not just a visual feast but also a vivid display of the millennia-old fishing culture and the wisdom of life.
