It is located on the border of fir-wood and the alpine meadows and amazes by its harsh alpine beauty, as well as the rich flora and fauna. Vertical drop between the three lakes is about 700 meters.

Kazakh Lakes - Our trip around the southern region of Kazakhstan is one I’ll never forgot. A huge thanks to our guide Tau for making it possible. He was professional and friendly. We all felt safe as we drove over some very difficult terrain as Tau had done it many times before. The first house we stopped at was comfortable and served traditional Kazakh food. I would definitely recommend, it was a trip of a lifetime!!

Fantastic guide, amazing trip! - Travelled with my mom in a group tour last June. We had Tau as our guide and it was a magical trip! Great driver and conversationalist, and he took us to some beautiful landscapes and also on some unreal hikes and climbs. Also very well prepared - borrowed many blankets when the temperatures got a little chilly, and had rain ponchos on hand when the weather turned rainy. After we returned to Almaty, Tau provided great recommendations (pictured restaurant before) and showed some pretty neat bars / spots around town. Hands-down, one of the highlights for summer 2019. Highly recommended. Tau will ensure that you have a great time in Kazakhstan!

Horseback riding at Kaindy Lake - Quality weekend, great guide, very comfertable car and journey in very safe hands. Me and my wife aren’t ‘outdoorsy’ enough for some of the trecks so Tau kindly sorted a couple of horses out for some of the journeys which added to the experience for us. Was great to have a couple of beers with him by the river at night. Definitely recommend this!
