This journey stands out because it brings together three of Kazakhstan’s most extraordinary natural wonders in a single trip, each offering a completely different landscape and atmosphere:

Charyn Canyon – A “mini Grand Canyon” with dramatic red cliffs and the magical Valley of Castles, carved by wind and time.

Kolsai Lakes – Alpine jewels surrounded by spruce forests and snow-capped peaks, reflecting serene mountain beauty.

Kaindy Lake – A true natural phenomenon: a turquoise lake with a “sunken forest,” where tree trunks rise eerily from the water.

✨ In just one tour, travelers experience three contrasting ecosystems – desert canyon, alpine lakes, and a mystical underwater forest. It’s a rare chance to capture the full diversity of Kazakhstan’s nature in a short time.

What To Expect

Discover three of Kazakhstan’s most breathtaking natural wonders in one unforgettable journey. Charyn Canyon – Often called the “Valley of Castles,” this dramatic canyon stretches for over 90 kilometers with towering red cliffs shaped by centuries of wind and water. Visitors can walk along the canyon floor, explore unique rock formations, and capture stunning photos of the desert scenery. Kolsai Lakes – A series of crystal-clear mountain lakes nestled at different altitudes in the Tien Shan range. Surrounded by dense spruce forests and snow-capped peaks, Kolsai offers peaceful hiking trails, serene reflections on the water, and a true alpine atmosphere. Kaindy Lake – Known as the “sunken forest,” Kaindy is a mystical turquoise lake famous for its submerged spruce trees rising straight out of the water. Created by an earthquake in the early 20th century, it’s one of the most unique and photogenic places in Kazakhstan. This tour combines stunning landscapes, fresh mountain air, and unforgettable photo stops, giving travelers a perfect mix of adventure and natural beauty.
