The Charyn Canyon is one of the unique natural monuments of Kazakhstan. The Canyon is about 12 million years old and surprises with its vertical cliffs, calling to mind ancient castles created by wind, sun and rain.
Over millions of years, the swift Charyn (Sharyn) River has carved a truly spectacular 150m- to 300m-deep canyon into the otherwise flat steppe some 200km east of Almaty, and time has weathered this into some weird and colourful rock formations. The most popular section, the Valley of Castles. 120 minutes
Kolsai Lake, Saty, Kazakhstan Kolsai is a name for a cascade of three lakes in Kungey Alatau ridge. Depending on the weather, the water colour may vary from dark blue to turquoise or green. The Lakes are located at different heights in several high-altitude landscape zones with specific flora and fauna like snow leopard, brown bear, maral, roe, blue whistling-thrush and golden eagle.
Kaindy Lake with its “underwater forest” is another attraction of Kolsay National Park. The lake was formed in 1911 after a huge earthquake that resulted in a big landslide from the eastern slope. A natural dam blocked the gorge and the waters of Kaindy River flooded the spruce forest. Eventually, those parts of the trees sticking out of the water lost branches and bark, and the wood became white. Their underwater bottoms were overgrown with algae, so the whole landscape looks mystically. 120 minutes
Lake Kaindy, Saty, Kazakhstan A fascinating hike, many photo stops, amazing emotions await you. This Lake is truly incredibly beautiful at any time of the year. 120 minutes

I only had one spare day in Almaty so went for this express tour of the 3 biggies: the big canyon, Kaindy Lake & Kolsai Lake. Long day 05:30 to 8pm but packed with wonderful memories door to door and additional surprises like the sunset picnic, local guesthouse lunch in a traditional Kasak home, local secret tracks, a horseback ride and more. The vehicle Andrey uses is extremely comfortable and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do to help you take home amazing memories of Kaz. Fully recommend Andrey.

We are a Canadian couple living in Kazakhstan on an international assignment. While in Almaty for the New Year, we decided to take one day for a trip to some of the nearby parks. We chose this trip as it hit a few highlights in one day.
Our guide was Dmitry who was very knowledgeable, spoke great English, was super friendly, and never rushed us. We wanted to hike around a bit (we are avid hikers), so we hiked to and from both lakes (5 km and 4 km round trip) and along the ridge of Charyn Canyon. The lunch stop at a local guest house was fantastic, and Dmitry brought along coffee and tea for us as well. It was a long day (14+ hours) but 100% worth it!
Great communication from Andrey (owner) and Dmitry leading up to the tour, very reliable transportation, especially in winter weather and mountain roads (Land Cruiser with studded winter tires), and Dmitry was an excellent driver in adverse conditions. Definitely recommend this tour and tour company - we will use them next time we are in the area.
Tip for this tour: bring snacks! It’s a long day and while there are a couple of stops for fuel, etc., (you can grab food), we were glad we brought along snacks for the hours on the road.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours. Once this process is completed you will receive your voucher or ticket by email. If our local partner is not able to confirm your booking we will offer you the best possible alternative. If the new date and/or time doesn’t fit your itinerary, we will reimburse the full amount paid.
