This tour will show you three unique natural wonders of Kazakhstan — Kaindy Lake, Kolsay Lake, and Charyn Canyon. Three miracles in one day!

Lake Kaindy — a young lake, just over 100 years old, known as the “flooded forest,” where submerged tree trunks rise from turquoise water, creating a surreal view.

Charyn Canyon — called the younger brother of the Grand Canyon, this 12-million-year-old formation stretches 154 km and amazes visitors with its dramatic cliffs and alien-like landscapes.

Kolsay Lakes — a group of alpine lakes surrounded by Tien Shan fir forests, located 330 km from Almaty. Their clear, cold water (below 10 °C even in summer) is home to rainbow trout.
