English-speaking guide and super-experienced driver. Let\u2019s set off from Almaty and follow the new Silk Road of our days \u2013 the Khorgos-Almaty highway. On the way to the canyon, we will talk about the country, culture, people, and the history of Kazakhstan. Driving time to<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Charyn_Canyon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Charyn Canyon<\/a> from Almaty is around 2.5 hours one way with stops (distance from Almaty to the Charyn Canyon is around 220 km or 136 miles).<\/p><p>During our road trip to Kolsay and Kaindy lakes via Charyn Canyon, you will observe the striking diversity of landscapes: from green agricultural fields of nearby villages sown with fruits and vegetables suddenly being swapped for the endless ascetic steppes stretching to the edge of the horizon with a rare bunch of sheep leading by a lonely herder.<\/p><p>On the way, we will have a stop at the little rustic Uighur village with the lively and colorful market and smell of grilled meat and tandyr samsa (meat-filled savory pastry baked at the special tandyr oven)! Be ready for the new gastronomical experiences! Let\u2019s follow the words of legendary Anthony Bourdain: \u201cYour body is not a temple \u2013 it\u2019s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p><p>Today during our Charyn Canyon tour from Almaty you will not only try new food but also be awestruck by the impressive beauty of the canyon. We will have gentle descent at the Valley of Castles and have a picnic at the shore of the Charyn river that carved the canyon 12 million years ago, and then ascend up back to the surface with a short scramble up at the end. So please make sure to wear comfortable shoes with a good outsole.<\/p><p>After spending around 3 hours in the canyon we will leave it and drive to Satty village, which is the closest village to Kolsai lakes. Driving from the canyon to the village will take around 2,5 hours (92 km or 57 miles), but don\u2019t worry: the road is brand-new, and landscapes you\u2019ll see on the way worth driving! \u00a0<\/p><p>Arriving at Satty village and departure to Kaindy Lake.<\/p><p>Unusual and mysterious Kaindy Lake (Birch Lake) is located at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level. Kaindy lake was formed as the result of a huge landslide after the powerful earthquake in 1911. The landslide blocked the river and the water has flooded the valley. That is how appeared the lake with Tien Shan fir tries in the middle. The water of the lake is very cold, that is why the needles of the flooded trees are well preserved and clearly visible through the transparent surface of the water, and dry stems of fir trees overlook the water surface. It is impossible to describe in words all this mystical splendor of the lake \u2013 it is necessary to go there and see everything with own eyes.<\/p><p>In the evening we leave Kaindy lake and drive to Satty village, where we have a hearty dinner at the guesthouse of a local family. Banya \u2013 sauna if you wish.<\/p><p>Night at the guest house<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

one.<\/p><p>Today\u2019s hike is a wonderful waltz of ascending and descending through the old spruce tree\u2019 forest, it\u2019ll take around 6-7 hours both ways (16 km, around 500 meters is a height between lakes).<\/p><p>The hike is great training for the whole body, so don&#8217;t forget to bring comfortable hiking clothes and shoes!<\/p><p>Important: Please take an actual passport (not a copy) for hiking, cause the border with Kyrgyzstan is located around 10 km from the second Kolsai lake and you can be asked to show your passport by border soldiers.<\/p><p>In the afternoon we will have a well-earned picnic and relax time on the shore of the second lake. My favorite part of the hike I should say!<\/p><p>It\u2019s time to move back to the first Kolsay lake, after giving the last glance at the lake we will drive back to Almaty. Driving will take roughly 5 hours with hygienic stops (Almaty to Kolsai lake distance is approximately 288 km or 179 miles).<\/p><p>Arrive in Almaty, drop off at your hotel (or at the airport &#8211;

Easy to arrange and they picked us up\/dropped us off where we were staying. My brother and I did the extended Charyn Canyon tour which included Moon Valley which was absolutely stunning (and nobody there!!!). Lunch was gorgeous (as was the homemade cake provided by our driver's mum!) Our driver and guide were incredibly knowledgeable. You are in safe hands with these guys.
