This was a brilliant tour, got to see some amazing landscapes at Kaindy Lake, Kolsai lake, and Charyn gorge. Comfortable bus, great scenery along the drive, saw a wild eagle, went horseback riding, got to travel off road in a soviet era van to Kaindy Lake, and had a lovely lunch at a traditional Kazakh farm. Aeka was such a great guide and brought us to each of the sites at the best time of day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone staying in Almaty.

It was a great start to the day, We were totally 10 of us in the tour. Kasi, who was a guide started off by giving us some chocolates from Kazakhstan. Stop where the two lakes, The highlights of the lakes, were the beauty of course, But drive in old Soviet van was truly a memorable experience.
We also made a stop at the Black Canyon before going on to Charyn Canyon. The complete tour was easy paced and unrushed. We also had a Kazakhstan lunch, which was really delicious . Kasim did everything that was possible to make out day splendid, I got a feeling that he really wanted to promote his beautiful country, And he did it with amazing hospitality.

An excellent trip out of the city of Almaty to some of the natural wonders in the area. Alpine Lakes and rock canyons in the National Parks. The most fun was the all-wheel drive overland and across rivers in a Russian UAZ vehicle. More fun than a roller coaster. At Kaindy Lake I highly recommend taking horseback instead of walking the final 20 minutes. The Nature was beautiful and dramatic. Our guide was exceptional in his care and attentiveness to our needs individually and as a group. It’s a long 16 day with travel but worth it. Highly recommend.

The well-organized itinerary allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the natural beauty without feeling rushed. It was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations.
