Charyn canyon, Kaindy lake, and the Kolsai lakes

A combo of these three locations in two days will impress, overwhelm, and mesmerize any connoisseur of nature. Charyn canyon coming first on our way will bring you into the antique world of creation of humanity. Kaindy lake meeting us the next will fascinate with pine trees growing from the lake itself.

On the next day of the tour, «pearl of Northern Tien-Shan» mountains – the Kolsai lakes are waiting for us. Whether you are a fan of hardcore tracking or just like to have a light walk in the forest, or maybe you love to sail in a boat and observe the greenery inside the lake, it is all possible here.
