Great Adventure - Me and a friend had Max organize a full week of activities in and around Almaty. Part of it was this beautiful two day trip to Charyn canyon and Kolsai lakes with Ramil. What a beautiful way to start your Kazakhstan adventure! We spent a lot of time in the car, since the distances are very long. But seeing so many amazing landscapes in just two days makes it absolutely worthwile. You spend the night in a small village and will have the most delicious Kazakh meal. Ramil was a very reliable driver and always ready to tell us about his country. Also the rest of our week was greatly taken care of by Max and Katya. We went skiing, sightseeing, snowbiking. We got picked up and brought to our Hotel very reliably every day. We always had the freedom to adapt our plans if the snowconditions werent right for skiing. Max has been very helpfull all the way. All of them recommended us very good places to eat in the evening, we had just amazing meals while staying in Almaty! It was a beautiful experience to explore such a big country in such a convenient way. If you dont have too much time, letting people like Max, Katya and Ramil take care of your trip is a big plus. You will have a great trip with nothing to worry about and lots of memories to bring back! Jonas and Christa December 2024

Lakes and canyon trip with Max - Trip was amazing! Demand Max as a guide :) I did two trips with him, so highly recommended! Weather was pretty good in September, probably the best time to do it.
