We became friends!
We had an amazing four-day adventure, made all the more enjoyable by Gulzat's personality. Through discussion, we arrived at the perfect bespoke four-day road trip. We did everything that we wanted to do and it was fantastic that we could return to the Charyn Canyon to take photographs in better light....

We spent a great day!
I had a great experience with my guide, Gulzat. She is very polite, kind and caring person. She replied me very quick any time. I came to Almaty from Japan alone. I was a little bit nervous before but I was very relieved by her support. She invited me to a nice riverside lunch on the way to Big Almaty Lake. I had an amazing afternoon. The lake was beautiful ....
Kaindy Lake and Charyn Canyon are two natural wonders located near Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Charyn Canyon is a natural wonder located about 200 kilometers east of Almaty. It is often compared to Grand Canyon in the United States because of its similar appearance. The canyon has a length of more than 150 kilometers and is known for its unique rock formations that have been eroded by Charyn River for millions of years. Visitors can stroll through the canyon, admire the stunning views and explore various formations such as the Valley of Castles.
The canyon of such impressive size is a popular place among tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. Here visitors can go hiking, set up camp and even go rafting on Charyn River. There are also several specially designated viewing platforms that offer stunning views of the canyon and its unique rock formations.
While the outer beauty of Charyn Canyon is undoubtedly breathtaking, the inner beauty of the canyon lies in its unique ecosystem and rich biological diversity. The canyon is home to a diverse flora and fauna, many of which are endemic to the region.
Kaindy Lake is another popular attraction in the same region of Kazakhstan. The lake is famous for its crystal clear water and flooded forest. The lake was formed after an earthquake in 1911, which caused a landslide that blocked Kaindy River and created the lake. Visitors can swim or rent a boat to explore the lake and see the sunken trees up close.
However, this lake is a truly wonderful sight with its crystal clear water and flooded forest, creating a unique and beautiful landscape. The turquoise blue-green color of the lake, surrounded by the lush greenery of the surrounding forest, creates a picturesque view that is truly breathtaking.
The lake is about 400 meters long and up to 30 meters deep. The water in the lake is crystal clear and has a blue-green color, which makes it a popular place for divers and photographers. Visitors can rent boats and explore the lake or go hiking in the surrounding forest.
If you only have one day to visit Charyn Canyon and Kaindy Lake, it will be a long day trip as they are about 200 km apart. You could start by visiting Charyn Canyon in the morning and spend a few hours exploring the canyon before heading to Kaindy Lake in the afternoon.
Don't forget to wear comfortable clothes and shoes suitable for hiking, and take a camera with you to capture the stunning views and natural beauty of these parts.
