Beat - I recently visited Kaindy and Kolsai lakes, and Charyn Canyon near Almaty, Kazakhstan, and it was an incredible experience to remember 😍😍😍 Kaindy Lake captivated me with its submerged forest and stunning turquoise waters, creating a serene atmosphere perfect for photography. The Kolsai Lakes offered stunning views during the hike, each with its own charm. Charyn Canyon wowed me with its dramatic rock formations and vibrant colors. To anyone planing to travel to Almaty, these natural wonders are a must-visit for anyone traveling to Almaty! 👍👍👍

Everything was well-organized, from the flights and accommodations to the local tours and activities. I felt completely taken care of from start to finish. Can’t wait to book my next trip with them!

We traveled with Panda... - We traveled with Panda Travel and had an amazing experience visiting Kolsay Lakes and Kaindy Lake! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with crystal-clear lakes surrounded by mountains and forests. Our guide from Panda Travel was knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. Hiking through these stunning landscapes was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Kaindy Lake, with its unique sunken forest, was especially unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!

Good sites but unorganized - Good sites, however the tour was very unorganized. The second bus was 20 minutes late in the morning. There were two vans with only one guide. First stop we were told get ready for the site seeing, but it was just a snack break and we weren’t told when to get back on bus. First stop for the site we were spread out on a hike, so not everyone heard when we needed to be back. Many people were late. We lost 30 minutes there. Very poor communication with guide Ayim from Panda Travel.
