    Charyn Canyon National Park

    Charyn Canyon is one of the most impressive natural wonders of Kazakhstan. It is located in the east of the country, just 200 kilometers from Almaty. This canyon impresses with its majestic beauty, reminiscent of the Grand Canyon in the USA, but with a unique, distinctive character. Its rocks, carved by wind, time and water, are painted in fiery red, orange and golden shades. Especially famous is the Valley of Castles, a section of the canyon where rock formations resemble ancient fortresses and towers. Walking along the narrow path between the giant walls, you feel like you're in a fairy tale. The height of the cliffs reaches 150-300 meters, and the length of the entire valley is about 3 kilometers. There is a special silence here, broken only by the rustling of the wind and the singing of birds. This place attracts photographers, travelers and anyone who is looking for inspiration in the greatness of nature. Canyon is a place where time seems to freeze, leaving only you and nature

    Kolsai Lake

    The Kolsai Lakes are a real mountain oasis hidden in the picturesque gorges of the Tien Shan. Just 300 km from Almaty, you will find silence, fresh air and amazing natural harmony. The system of three lakes — Lower, Middle and Upper Kolsai — stretches at different heights, each of them has its own character and mood. The most accessible is the Lower Lake, surrounded by dense coniferous forests, with a mirror—like surface of water reflecting the mountain peaks. The middle one is more secluded, with a trekking route about 9 km long leading to it. Lake Superior is for true nature and adventure lovers. The water in Kolsai is crystal clear, cool even in summer, and striking in its rich turquoise-blue color. This place is ideal for hiking, picnics, photography and just relaxing. Here you can forget about the city, the hustle and time. Kolsai Lakes are the pearl of Kazakhstan's mountains, where you want to return again and again.
