What you can expect

Discover Almaty's striking natural landscapes on a bus tour from the city. See lunar-like canyons with serpentine rivers flowing through them, and turquoise lakes with forests surrounding them. From Charyn Canyon to Lake Kolsai, explore SIX of the region's highlights.

From the beginning of the tour to its end, you will find a fascinating atmosphere filled with the spirit of tourism and charming nature. Together with funny people.

Head out of Almaty in the comfort of your van and go to your first stop of the day: Charyn Canyon The Valley of Castles. Marvel at its red and brown rocks soaring up from then canyon floor, like rocky monoliths surrounding you. Enjoy breathtaking views in the Valley of Castles in the Charyn Canyon. A miracle of nature that will not leave anyone indifferent to the history of this creation. Walking around the location, imagine that you are on another planet.

Views in the Black Canyon and in the Moon Canyon make it clear about the versatility of the phenomenon and its structure. They also provide a wonderful view of the Charyn River.

Continue your journey to the dramatically different and lush Kolsai Lake. The Kolsai Lakes National Park surprises with its natural views. after all, Lake Kolsai is one of the youngest natural lakes. The majestic mountains of the Tien Shan increasingly emphasise its beauty.

Carry on to Kaiyindy Lake with its sunken forest emerging out of the turquoise waters. The Sunken Forest has a unique history. That coincidence of circumstances gave rise to immeasurable beauty that attracts millions of travellers from all over the world. The UNESCO heritage status speaks for itself.
