Itinéraire
D'Almaty à Charyn Canyon 2,5 heures en minibus. Le Canyon a été décrit comme le petit frère du Grand Canyon. Le canyon lui-même mesure environ 150 km de long et atteint par endroits jusqu'à 300 mètres de profondeur. Nous visiterons la "Vallée des Châteaux", la longueur est de 2,5 km, la profondeur est de 20 à 80 mètres. L’histoire du Canyon est qu’il s’est formé il y a environ 25 millions d’années. Si vous êtes amateur de randonnée, nous pouvons faire une randonnée de 2,5 km d'un côté jusqu'à la rivière Charyn ou vous pouvez prendre une voiture à toit ouvert pour 500 kzt d'un côté pour admirer la vue depuis la voiture. Il y a une vue spectaculaire et magnifique sur le canyon et la rivière.
Après Charyn Canyon, nous irons au village de Saty où nous déjeunerons dans une maison d'hôtes locale ou dans une yourte. Après le déjeuner, il vous faudra 40 minutes pour rejoindre le lac Kaindy. Nous changerons de voiture 2 fois (voitures anciennes), après quoi nous marcherons environ 15 minutes pour atteindre le lac Kaindy. Le temps libre sur le lac Kaindy prendra environ 1 heure. Le lac Kaindy est situé à 2000 m d'altitude et géologiquement très jeune. Ce lac de 400 m de long s'est formé en 1911 après qu'un tremblement de terre ait déclenché un énorme glissement de terrain calcaire, qui a formé un barrage naturel dans la gorge recouverte d'épicéas.
Après Kaindy, nous irons au lac Kolsay en passant par le village de Saty avec notre propre voiture. Lacs Kolsay – l'un des plus beaux endroits du Kazakhstan. Ces lacs sont situés à des altitudes de 1 800, 2 250 et 2 700 mètres d'altitude. Nous visiterons le premier lac, situé à une hauteur de 1818 mètres, a une longueur de 1 km et une largeur d'environ 300 mètres. Une fois visité cet endroit, je n'oublierai jamais leur magnificence et leur calme.

Our guide can speak English very well, and the service is excellent. Yet, the price is reasonable to us. The places we visited were beautiful. The driver drove cautiously and followed the traffic regulations. Very nice trip for us.

It’s great that the price was reasonable for you and that the places you visited left a beautiful impression. Your kind words truly motivate us. We hope to welcome you again on another tour soon!
Our experience with Almaty Inspiration Tour (AIT) for the Charyn Canyon, Kaindy Lake, Kolsay Lake, and Black Canyon adventure, was exceptional. I was not sure which tour to use, private or group. One lake or two. Sometimes there's too much information in the internet but I'm so glad I listened to my hotel concierge who highly recommended the private tour with AIT. What made this experience so wonderful boils down to the quality of the guide, driver and the team that organized the tour. Of course the destinations were spectacular (and other reviews cover those details) so let me focus on the actual tour. Alina from AIT was so responsive to my questions. i received prompt and detailed answers even before i officially booked the tour with detailed information that helped me choose the right program. Our tour guide Assel was really what made the trip so wonderful. She knows the local staff at each destination and was in full command of the itinerary. The trip is very well organized. Assel is wonderful at listening to our needs and preferences which made the trip so comfortable. For example there are options to use the horse at extra cost, walk, or an off-road taxi to finish the last leg of journey to Kaindy Lake. It's bit chaotic at the scene, with numerous tourists attended by a much fewer local horse-riding staff. I saw many tourists (perhaps those that came in larger group) that seemed lost. Assel was so awesome. She helped us get really good service immediately and we were on a horseback. She rode a horse herself with us and it was so much fun. She didn't push us to use one option or other (I've read how some tours do this to monetize), but really let us decide at all points during the day. Each time we had amazing support and she helped us navigate each place with ease. She also doesn't overwhelm us with information and gave us plenty of time to ourselves so I can really spend time with my son. Other private tours I joined failed in this balance where the guide micro-manages and feeds too much information/history rather than allowing us to absorb and enjoy the moment. Not the case here with AIT and Assel! I debated a bit about whether I should spend the extra money to do a private tour. But I absolutely made the right decision choosing AIT. This tour takes more than 14 hours. The extra care, comfort, smoothness and ease of execution that comes with AIT is so worth it! Finally I must mention that the driver Azat really is wonderful. Very safe driving, nice car and just a pleasure to spend the entire day with. Highly recommended!

Dear Rheema, Thank you for taking your time to leave a review. It was our pleasure to host you. All the best and take care🙏
We booked three days of full day tours in April and we are glad that we did it with them. Booking Al Maty Inspirational tour guide was the best decision we made for our trip! Our guide (Assel) was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, caring and made the experience truly unforgettable. She was very patient and thoughtful given that we were traveling with kids. They also provided a very comfortable SUV car for our day tours. If you are looking for an English speaking guide who is knowledgeable and looking to explore a new destination with ease, you need not look any further than Assel from Al Maty inspirational tours.

Dear Aparna, Thank you so much for your fantastic review, it was our pleasure, was nice to meet your family! Wish you all the best, many more fantastic trips😊
Assel was fabulous and I would highly recommend her for multiple tours. Kazakh as a country has a lot of language barrier, so she helped a lot with the tour and communication. I have a very positive vibe. So I would recommend her for great tours.
Dear Appoorv, Thank you very much for taking your time to leave a review. It was our pleasure to take your family around Almaty region and Almaty city. Wish you all the best, unforgettable trips and happiness.
Our journey from Dubai to Almaty, Kazakhstan, was a mesmerizing experience, enriched by the region's captivating natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Our expedition to Charyn Canyon was a highlight, showcasing the rugged, yet serene landscape of Kazakhstan. The panoramic vistas of the canyon were simply breathtaking, providing a perfect blend of adventure and tranquillity. Equally impressive was their visit to Kolsoy Lake, a pristine alpine lake nestled in the mountains. The lake's crystal-clear waters, surrounded by towering peaks, offered a serene escape and a multitude of photographic opportunities. This natural wonder exemplified the untouched beauty of Kazakhstan's outdoors. A standout experience was the traditional lunch in a local village. The hospitality and warmth of the hosts added an authentic touch to their journey. The cuisine, rich in flavours and made with locally sourced ingredients, provided a delightful taste of Kazakh culinary traditions. This meal not only satiated their appetites but also offered a glimpse into the daily life and customs of the local people. The journey was made even more enriching by their guide, Alina. Her excellent command of the language and deep knowledge of Kazakh culture, nature, and key historical sites significantly enhanced their understanding and appreciation of the region. Alina's insights into the history and significance of each site they visited brought the landscapes to life, connecting them to the rich tapestry of Kazakh history and culture. In conclusion, our trip to Almaty was a remarkable blend of natural splendour, cultural immersion, and educational enrichment. It was a journey that not only provided them with stunning visuals and thrilling experiences but also deepened their understanding of a land rich in history and tradition. This trip to Almaty, especially with the guidance of an expert like Alina, is highly recommended for anyone seeking an adventure that is both visually enchanting and intellectually rewarding. Thank you Alina and Salta.

The guide, Alina, and Mr Driver were awesome.

Beautiful scenery, good service and company. Highly recommended to book with them if you come visit Almaty!
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are very glad to hear that your trip to Kazakhstan was memorable and enjoyable with us. Wish you all the best, many more trips
Assel, our guide for the Charyn Canyon, Kaindy Lake, Kolsay Lake, and Black Canyon adventure, was exceptional. Her expertise and passion were evident from the start. Assel catered to our preferences, shared insights, and created a sense of camaraderie. Her warmth made it a delightful, social exploration. Our horseback riding experience was a true highlight of the journey. The local guide was very friendly and skilled in handling the horses and had deep knowledge of the terrain which made us feel safe and confident throughout the ride. We were fortunate to share a meal at a local Kazakh family's home for lunch. It embodied the region's culinary heritage, leaving a lasting impression with rich flavors and a heartwarming ambiance. A testament to Kazakh cuisine and genuine hospitality. This experience deserves all the stars in the Milky way! ✨✨✨🌌
