This tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Almaty, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. We did the full-day journey to Charyn Canyon, Kaindy Lake, and Kolsay Lakes, and every moment was spectacular.
The natural beauty is simply surreal—the views are breathtaking, especially the sunken forest of Kaindy and the dramatic scale of Charyn Canyon. It’s a lot of ground to cover in one day, which means you have to start early (we started at 5 AM), and there is a decent amount of walking involved to properly explore the lakes and the canyon floor.
However, what truly made this experience a perfect 5-star day was our guide, Assel.
From the moment she picked us up, Assel was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. We instantly felt a connection with her, like we were traveling with an old friend. She did a fantastic job of managing the long day, offering us flexibility and options to accommodate our needs.
Assel went above and beyond in every way. It was one of our friend’s birthdays, and she actually went out of her way to get him a thoughtful gift, which was such a kind and unexpected gesture that we truly appreciated. She is the perfect guide—caring, professional, and knowledgeable.
If you are looking for a comprehensive and breathtaking tour outside of Almaty, book this one! We can't thank Assel enough for the unforgettable day.
