Start your day early with a convenient pick-up in Almaty and head east towards the stunning landscapes of Charyn National Park. Upon arrival, enjoy an easy 2 km hike down into the canyon, where you’ll walk among towering rock formations in the Valley of Castles and reach the scenic Charyn River.

Continue your journey with a short stop at the dramatic Black Canyon viewpoint, offering incredible panoramic views—perfect for photos.

Next, arrive in Saty Village, a quiet mountain settlement, where you’ll have time to enjoy lunch at a local guesthouse or café (not included).

In the afternoon, visit the beautiful Kolsai Lake, often called the “Pearl of the Northern Tien Shan.” Take a relaxing walk along the lakeshore, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and capture stunning photos.

The final highlight is Lake Kaindy, famous for its submerged forest rising from turquoise waters. After a short off-road transfer and light walk, admire one of Kazakhstan’s most unique natural wonders.

After a full day of exploration, relax on the scenic drive back to Almaty.
