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....

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.

Kazakhstan is a beautiful country with a rich history and culture. It has many natural wonders that are worth exploring, and two of the most breathtaking sights are Issyk Lake and Charyn Canyon. A tour of these two places will take you on a journey through time and space, and you will witness the amazing beauty of nature.
Issyk Lake is a beautiful alpine lake located in the Issyk-Kul region of Kazakhstan. It is situated at an altitude of 1,600 meters above sea level and is surrounded by stunning mountains. The lake has a length of about 185 km and a width of 60 km, making it the second-largest alpine lake in the world after Lake Titicaca. The water in Issyk Lake is crystal clear and has a turquoise color, which is a result of the mineral content in the water. The lake is fed by numerous rivers and streams, and its water is rich in minerals and nutrients.
Charyn Canyon is another natural wonder that is located in the eastern part of Kazakhstan, close to the Chinese border. The canyon is a unique geological formation that was created by the erosion of the Charyn River. The canyon has a length of about 150 km and a depth of up to 300 meters. The rock formations in the canyon are stunning and have been carved over millions of years by the forces of nature. The canyon is also home to many rare plant and animal species, making it a popular destination for nature lovers.
