Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Van Almaty naar Charyn Canyon 2,5 uur met een minibus. De Canyon wordt wel omschreven als het kleine broertje van de Grand Canyon. De Canyon zelf is ongeveer 150 km lang en op sommige plaatsen tot 300 meter diep. We bezoeken de "Vallei der Kastelen", de lengte is 2,5 km, de diepte is 20-80 meter. Het verhaal van de Canyon is dat deze ongeveer 25 miljoen jaar geleden werd gevormd. Als u van wandelen houdt, kunnen we 2,5 km aan de ene kant wandelen tot aan de rivier de Charyn, of u kunt een auto met open dak nemen voor 500 kzt aan de ene kant om het uitzicht vanuit de auto te bewonderen. Er is een spectaculair, prachtig uitzicht op de Canyon en de rivier.
Na Charyn Canyon gaan we naar het dorp Saty waar we zullen lunchen in een lokaal pension of yurt. Na de lunch duurt het 40 minuten naar het Kaindy-meer. We wisselen 2 keer van auto (oude auto's), daarna lopen we ongeveer 15 minuten om het Kaindy-meer te bereiken. De vrije tijd op het Kaindy-meer duurt ongeveer 1 uur. Lake Kaindy ligt op een hoogte van 2000 meter en is geologisch gezien erg jong. Dit 400 meter lange meer werd in 1911 gevormd nadat een aardbeving een enorme kalkstenen aardverschuiving veroorzaakte, die een natuurlijke dam vormde in de kloof die bedekt was met sparrenbomen.
Na Kaindy gaan we met onze eigen auto naar het Kolsay-meer via het dorp Saty. Kolsay-meren – een van de mooiste plekken in Kazachstan. Deze meren bevinden zich op een hoogte van 1800, 2250 en 2700 meter boven zeeniveau. We bezoeken het eerste meer, gelegen op een hoogte van 1818 meter, heeft een lengte van 1 km en een breedte van ongeveer 300 meter. Als je deze plek eenmaal hebt bezocht, zal je hun pracht en kalmte nooit vergeten

This well-paced tour takes you to three beautiful natural sights in Kazakhstan. I hope to revisit in the future as the natural views change with the season. Lunch was incredibly delicious too. Alina was a fantastic guide, so friendly and full of enthusiasm to share information about Kazakhstan. Thank you Alina!
Dear Stephanie, Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you and showing you some of Kazakhstan’s beautiful natural landscapes. I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour, the views, and the lunch! I really appreciate your kind words about me and my enthusiasm for sharing information about Kazakhstan. I hope you’ll come back one day and experience these places in a different season — they are beautiful in every season, but always a little different. Thank you again for choosing our tour, and I hope to see you again in Kazakhstan
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.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip and felt comfortable with our guide and driver. 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!

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! ✨✨✨🌌
