What you can expect

  • Join an unforgettable journey from Almaty to three of Kazakhstan’s most spectacular natural landmarks: Charyn Canyon, Kolsai Lake, and Kaindy Lake. This tour is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and travellers seeking iconic landscapes in one day.

    Your adventure begins with a scenic drive through the Kazakh countryside to Charyn Canyon, often called the “Grand Canyon of Central Asia.” Walk through its striking rock formations, admire the deep gorges, and capture incredible photos of the Valley of Castles.

    Next, continue to the tranquil Kolsai Lake, surrounded by pine forests and mountain peaks. Enjoy free time to walk along the lakeshore, relax in nature, or take photos of the crystal-clear water reflecting the sky.

    The journey ends at the unique Kaindy Lake, famous for its submerged forest. Here, you’ll witness tree trunks rising mysteriously from the turquoise water, creating one of the most surreal landscapes in the region.

    Throughout the tour, enjoy comfortable transport and well-planned stops that allow you to fully appreciate each destination. This experience offers a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty—all in one memorable day from Almaty.
