This tour will show you three unique natural phenomena that make up the Seven Wonders of Kazakhstan – Kaindy Lake, Kolsay Lake and Charyn Canyon.
Three miracles in two days!

Lake Kaindy is a young lake, just over 100 years old. This place is called flooded forest, because coniferous forest was on the place where the lake is now, and after the lake was filled up, the trunks of trees have remained in the lake. It looks incredibly beautiful!

Charyn Canyon is a landscaped natural valley that amazes with its extraterrestrial reliefs. The canyon enters the Seven Wonders of the Light of Kazakhstan. Its length is 154 km, and the height reaches 150–300 m. The rocks of Charyn Canyon consist of sedimentary rocks, which are more than 12 million years old. It is also called the younger brother of the Grand Canyon (USA).

Kolsay Lakes – are located in the Northern Tien Shan in the Kolsay Gorge, which connects the ridges of Kungei Alatau and Zailiiskiy Alatau. The lake is located 330 km from Almaty. The lake is surrounded by mountains that are covered with coniferous forests of Tien Shan fir. The depth in some places reaches 80 m, the water temperature does not exceed 10 degrees in the hot season. Lake Kolsay is home to rainbow trout.
