If you are visiting Almaty, take a day to visit the spectacular Charyn Gorge. About a two hour drive East of Almaty towards China to the Charyn national park,the area is surrounded by fantastic mountainous scenery. The walk down the gorge to the river is spectacular. Take plenty of water and sun screen as it is exposed and even in September it was hot. You can hire a guide in Almaty who will tell you everything you need to know about the region. Our party was three adults and Kanat, our guide. He was wonderful, cooking shashlyk for us and making our trip memorable. Very reasonably priced too. Also took us to Big Almaty Lake on a separate trip. A brilliant day.

We stayed near Kolsay Lake at Gostevoy Dom Alikhan in Kurmeti village. The lake is as beautiful as any in Europe without too many tourists. There re a small number of restaurants having delicious Kazakh dishes.The very friendly family who runs that hotel arranged for a horse ride to the lake. We even drank some tasty Kurmiss (fermented horse milk) at the lake.

It was two incredible days on tour to Altyn emel national park. Be prepared for the long driving. On the first day we drove 500 km, but it's worth it! Spectacular view of Aktau mountains I've never seen before. Landscape remind me the planets from the Star wars movie. If you traveling around Central Asia you must visit this place!

We visited Kaindy lake in September 2018. We rented a driver in Saty (our host knew somebody) and I think that was the best choice ever, because the road to the lake is very difficult to drive by yourself if you don't have experience with driving off-road and you also need to have big jeep for that road. Our driver knew road very well and he made the drive a part of the attraction. The Kaindy lake is very beautiful. We walked around the lake for around three hours, you can also take horses to go around. I thing that this is attraction that you must visit if you are in Kazakhstan, because this lake is 100 years old and there is no like it nowhere near around. The trees in the water are really something special.

Good organization of the tour. Our guide Rifat showed us the most beautiful places of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. We were amazed by the beauty of Central Asia and the hospitality of the locals. We advise everyone to visit Central Asia and use the services of Kazakhstan Journey .
