Charyn Canyon, Kolsay & Kaindy Lakes national parks
3 days hiking tour
The Kolsai Lakes National Park is the most popular destination in the Almaty region: a three-level cascade of Kolsai lakes and the separate Lake Kaindy. A private 3-day jeep tour: just you, your group and a personal guide-driver. We never combine travelers into group tours.
