Charyn Canyon

We will start our journey at Charyn Canyon, one of Kazakhstan’s most breathtaking natural wonders, often called the "Grand Canyon of Central Asia." Our first stop is the observation deck, where you'll take in panoramic views of the dramatic rock formations sculpted by wind and time. As we walk through the Valley of Castles, you’ll see towering cliffs resembling ancient fortresses, making for incredible photo opportunities. We’ll enjoy a hot tea break while soaking in the canyon’s unique beauty before continuing our adventure towards the serene Kolsay Lake.

Next, we will arrive at Kolsay Lake, a breathtaking alpine gem surrounded by lush green mountains. The crystal-clear water reflects the stunning landscape, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. You’ll have free time to explore—ride horses along the lake, rent a snowbike in winter, or simply relax by the shore while taking in the serene atmosphere. We will enjoy a delicious lunch with panoramic views, making this an unforgettable moment in nature. As the sun sets, we’ll head to our cozy hotel near the lake, where you can unwind, have dinner, and enjoy a warm evening by the fire under the starry sky.

Lake Kaindy

Famous for its submerged forest, the lake is dotted with the eerie yet beautiful remains of trees rising from its turquoise waters. As we ride through the scenic mountain trails, you’ll witness breathtaking landscapes and experience the tranquility of the untouched wilderness. Upon arrival, we will take a leisurely walk around the lake, capturing stunning photos of this surreal destination. After soaking in the peaceful atmosphere, we’ll enjoy a hearty lunch in nature before beginning our journey back to Almaty.
