Kolsai Lakes National Park - Key Features of the Day Tour

Kolsai Lake, Kaindy Lake and Charyn Canyon - Private Tour and Group Tour from Almaty

Discover the diverse landscapes of the Almaty region on a journey to Kolsai Lakes National Park. Situated in the Tien Shan Mountains near the border with Kyrgyzstan, the three lakes offer natural beauty that is hard to match anywhere in Central Asia. At high altitude, temperatures are noticeably cooler than in Almaty - warm clothes are recommended year-round. Visit the crystal-clear water of the lower Kolsai Lake, the submerged forest of Kaindy Lake, and the rock formations of Charyn Canyon - shaped by millions of years of wind and water.

Tour highlights:

  • Kolsai Lake - stunning alpine lake in Kolsay Lakes National Park, hike along the side of the lake or rent a boat
  • Kaindy Lake - riding a horse or hiking around the unique mountain lake with half-submerged trees
  • Charyn Canyon - Kazakhstan's answer to the Grand Canyon, with the famous Valley of Castles and Black Canyon along the Charyn River
  • Saty village - a local Kazakh village with yurts and guesthouses, authentic cuisine
  • Comfortable SUV with a professional driver and expert tour guide included
