This day tour gives you a chance to explore Kazakhstan’s stunning natural wonders.

Charyn Canyon, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon’s little brother," is one of Kazakhstan’s most stunning natural landmarks. Located about 200 km east of Almaty, it stretches over 154 kilometers in length and is up to 300 meters deep. The canyon is renowned for its vibrant red rock formations, which have been shaped by millions of years of erosion.

Kolsay Lakes are a series of three stunning glacial lakes located in the northern part of the Tien Shan Mountains, near the village of Saty. These lakes are known for their incredible natural beauty, surrounded by lush green forests, jagged peaks, and crystal-clear waters.
