Overview

  • Within 2 days you will visit the most famous places of Almaty region - Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes, Charyn, Black and Moon Canyons. The tour itinerary is designed in such a way that you have time to enjoy all the tour sights fully. Our comfortable transportation will provide you with a pleasant experience, ensuring you remain comfortable during long trips.

    In the evening, you will enjoy a rustic dinner of local cuisine, as well as games and fun around the bonfire.
    For the night, tourists are accommodated in the yurt camp at the picturesque foothill far from the noise of the roads, where only the sound of a mountain river can be heard and the starry sky can be clearly seen. Here, you will feel the spirit of the nomadic lifestyle, enjoy the silence away from civilization, and be united with nature (accommodation in a house is also possible).
