Explore Kazakhstan's Alpine Wonders. The Journey to the Heart of Kazakhstan

Embark on an incredible adventure to visit Kazakhstan's most breathtaking natural landmarks, Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes. These tranquil lakes, situated in the majestic Tien Shan Mountains, are encircled by verdant woods and attractive scenery. They are a popular destination for both explorers and nature lovers. This trip has something to offer everyone, whether you opt for a private tour for a more personal experience or join a group for group exploration. 

The Scenic Drive and Kolsai Lakes (Group Tour Joining)

The drive over the expansive steppe and undulating slopes as you depart Almaty sets the stage for an engrossing journey. Known as the "Pearls of the Tien Shan," the Lower Kolsai Lake is the most easily accessible of the three alpine lakes that comprise the Kolsai Lakes. Encircled by lush vegetation, it's the ideal location for strolls or hiking along the paths to take in the peaceful ambiance. Along the journey, you can savor national cuisine, providing a genuine experience of Kazakh culture.

The Enchanting Lake Kaindy

It is a must to explore Lake Kaindy, which is well-known for its ethereal submerged forest. The half-submerged pine trees in the lake, created during an earthquake, give the landscape a weird and unearthly appearance. The stunning reflection of the surrounding mountains in the crystal-clear blue lake creates innumerable photo opportunities.

Exploring Charyn Canyon

For an added thrill, you can explore the magnificent Charyn Canyon, including the iconic Valley of the Castles. Walking along the bottom of the canyon, you'll marvel at the natural rock formations sculpted by centuries of wind and water. A picnic by the river adds a delightful touch to this awe-inspiring day.
