3 Days Tour: Altyn Emel NP, Charyn Canyon, Kaindy & Kolsay Lakes

Great three days exploring this little corner of Kazakhstan, nothing too much trouble and everything was tailored perfectly. Would highly recommend this trip

A great experience with Mikl, we got to see places we would not have seen by ourselves or on shorter tours. The food was great in Saty, the hikes were beautiful and Mikl was a brilliant guide. It was lovely to have everything handled for us for the full 3 days and would highly recommend!

It was our first time visiting Kazakhstan and this was a great private tour for me and my best friend. Great communication and ease of booking. Our guide and driver, Chingus, was so thoughtful- always attentive with our food and drinks needs, knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure we got to see as much as possible.

My husband and I planned a 3 day nature excursion and it was a great experience. Explore Kazakhstan was very helpful and prompt with the communication, planning, understanding our requirements, all arrangements. Kudos to our guide, Chingiz who ensured we were welcome and comfortable in the country. Personal suggestions by him made our experience even better ! We could cover everything at our own pace, without it being tiring at all, and also he acted as our personal photographer, clicking nice memories for us. The vehicle was super comfortable and spacious, and rugged enough to cover the difficult terrains. Will surely recommend this tour company if you are looking for a seamless experience in Kazak.

Unmissable experience of canyons, lakes and landscapes from Almaty. We enjoyed our visit to Charyn Canyon, Kolsay Lake, Lake Kaindy, Singing Sand Dunes, Bestamak Canyon, Moon Canyon, Aktau Mountains and excellent Guide Mikhail who showed several interesting birds and animals. This trip should be a must for visitors to Kazakstan.

The tour is well organized. The places I visited during this tour is simply incredible! The 3 days tour allowed me to see the sites without rushing. My guide, Dorzh, was very helpful and took care of everything. He also took great pics and videos. I would highly recommend taking this tour.

Madi helped organise an excellent trip for us. He was extremely responsive, and ensured our many questions were promptly answered. I would strongly recommend his tour agency.

Surreal experience for the Kazhak 4days spent with explore Kazakh tour company and BhaktiYaar Firstly i gotta give it to Khazakastan for its ever changing scenic beauty everywhere we went be it Charyn canyon for its 50m old carving by mother nature to naturally formed Kaindy lake to the singing dunes to the Kolsay lake 1 &2. We were efficiently driven to all these places, got the best veg food everywhere, ensured that we were super safe and what more he was a translator in places to understand the local culture.

I would especially recommend Lake Korsay. You can ride on a boat in the lake. Мне очень понравилось озеро Колсай. Там можно кататься на лодке.

As I worked at The Ritz-Carlton, Almaty I had an opportunity to meet lots of people from all over the world. One of them was Warren family, who came from Australia. They asked me if I can find tours in order to visit canyon and lakes around Almaty. I found ExploreKazakhstan and this trip was really AMAZING. The team is great, Madina knows lots of interesting information (even I was surprised even if I was born in Almaty and Kazakh, who studied history) and Askhat - driver is so supportive. The Warren family was grateful for this trip and I really want to thank the whole team. It was great! We enjoyed everything!
