Almaty Two Lakes and One Canyon ⛰️ One-Day Tour Special Forces Live Up

1.Selected the Join me one-day tour group in advance. Compared to kktour, it seems to be a larger company with more tour schedules and English-speaking guides. Contact them in advance on Instagram for Visa payment; it’s recommended to confirm multiple times to avoid being missed. 💳 2.The tour fee is 20,000 tenge per person, which has probably increased recently. The schedule is from 5:00 to 22:30 – truly a full-day marathon! ⏰ 3.The distance is long, so there will be 2 stopovers in advance. The first gas station supermarket has better items; you can withdraw cash and buy meals here. There are toilets at each attraction, but you need 100 tenge per person as change. 🚻 4.Charyn Canyon (Pictures 2, 3): The largest attraction, great for photos. There are two ways to explore – sightseeing from above (easier) or going deep into the canyon (very hot and tiring in summer). If time is limited, you can do half of each. 🌄 5.Black Canyon (Picture 4): The second attraction for check-in – a quick photo stop is enough. 📸 6.Kolsai Lake (Pictures 5-7): Has a "Little Switzerland" vibe. You can choose to ride a horse; there are cafes and restaurants by the lake. Boat rides are available but likely not enough time for that. 🐎 7.Kaindy Lake (Pictures 8-10): The village roads are rough – you need to switch to local high-chassis vehicles to get through. The car sways up, down, left, and right to the driver’s upbeat music, and the locals on the bus will sway and sing along, which is fun. However, the back-and-forth shaking really hurts your waist. The attraction is average; you need to walk or ride a horse, and the actual view is of dead trees in the water. 🌊 8.☎️ Overall, the trip isn’t too tiring on foot, but the travel time is long. The 4-hour return drive with the driver speeding can make you feel tired. 🚌 9.🔥 It’s recommended that no matter which travel agency you book with, ask about the meeting point first. Choosing a nearby hotel will be much more convenient. Overall, the scenery is average – definitely not as good as Xinjiang. 🏞️ #CentralAsia #Kazakhstan #Almaty #OffTheBeatenPath #CentralAsiaTravel #KazakhstanTourism #VisaFree #IndependentTravel #TravelGuide #TwoLakesOneCanyon
