Itinerary
Travelers will visit the beautiful Kolsai Lake, surrounded by pine forests and mountain landscapes. Guests will have time to walk along the lakeshore, take stunning photos, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and learn about the natural beauty of the region. Free time is provided for sightseeing and relaxation.
Kaindy Lake is famous for its submerged forest, where the trunks of century-old Tian Shan spruce trees rise above the crystal-clear turquoise water, creating a truly unique and unforgettable landscape. The cold mountain water has preserved the underwater branches remarkably well, making the lake a popular destination for photographers, nature lovers, and adventure travelers.
Black Canyon is one of Kazakhstan’s hidden natural gems, located within the Charyn National Park. Known for its dramatic dark-colored rock formations, steep cliffs, and rugged landscapes, the canyon offers a striking contrast to the surrounding steppe and mountains. Carved by wind and water over millions of years, Black Canyon showcases unique geological formations and breathtaking panoramic views. Its quiet atmosphere and untouched beauty make it an ideal destination for nature lovers, photographers, and travelers looking to explore beyond the usual tourist routes.

About Almaty
Almaty is Kazakhstan's largest city, set beneath the snow peaks of the Tian Shan, with leafy parks, Soviet-era monuments, cafés and mountain lakes nearby.
Almaty lies on a plain at the foot of the Trans-Ili Alatau, a range of the Tian Shan mountains, whose snowy peaks rise to the south. It was the capital of Kazakhstan until 1997, when the title passed to Astana, and it remains the largest city and the cultural centre. Wide avenues are shaded by poplars and elms, and Panfilov Park holds the brightly painted wooden Ascension Cathedral and a memorial to soldiers of the Second World War.
