Charyn Canyon
A 154-kilometre gorge of red sandstone towers three hours east of Almaty, walkable along its floor. Often called a smaller Grand Canyon, and usually far emptier.
Kazakhstan · Almaty & the Tian Shan
Almaty sits with the Tian Shan on its doorstep — ski slopes at Shymbulak in an afternoon, Charyn Canyon and the Kolsay lakes within a day, and the drowned forest at Kaiyndy standing in the water. Private tours, our own guides, since 2016.
Real prices, updated live from our own booking system — not a brochure estimate. Every trip is private: your dates, your pace.
Our own guides are shooting these routes on the ground this season — Kaiyndy’s photographs are still coming in, shown here as illustration in the meantime.
A 154-kilometre gorge of red sandstone towers three hours east of Almaty, walkable along its floor. Often called a smaller Grand Canyon, and usually far emptier.
The range rises straight out of the southern edge of the city — Medeu’s high-altitude skating rink and the Shymbulak slopes are both inside an hour of the centre.
Three lakes stacked up a forested valley near Saty village, and nearby Kaiyndy — where an earthquake flooded a spruce forest and the bare trunks still stand upright out of the water.
