Good job guys - I recently took a day tour from Almaty to Kolsai Lake, Kaindy Lake and Charyn Canyon, and it was absolutely incredible the landscapes were breathtaking from the crystal clear waters of Kolsai to the mysterious sunken forest of Kaindy Lakes , and the dramatic rock formations of Charyn Canyon. Each stob had its own unique charm.

Great way to explore - I had such a great time on this tour! Everything was super organized, and the guide was friendly and easy to talk to. The car was comfortable, and we never felt rushed, there was enough time to enjoy the views and take photos. Honestly, it felt more like hanging out with a local friend than a tour. If you are visiting, do not skip this, it is a perfect way to see the highlights without any stress.
