In the morning, we depart from Almaty. The drive to Saty village takes about 4 hours, with one or two stops along the way — at a gas station and, if needed, a shop. We recommend bringing a light snack. Upon arrival in Saty, we transfer to local transport (UAZ or PAZ) for a 30-minute ride to the lower Kaindy Lake parking. From there, we continue on foot to Kaindy Lake. You’ll have around 40 minutes to enjoy the views and take photos. Afterward, we return to Saty by the same route for lunch at a guesthouse. Following lunch, we head to Kolsai Lake.

After lunch, we will head to the beautiful Kolsai Lake. The drive takes about 20–30 minutes through scenic mountain roads. Upon arrival, you will have free time to walk along the lakeshore, take stunning photos, and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Kolsai is one of the most famous lakes in Kazakhstan — a peaceful and relaxing place, perfect for enjoying the natural beauty and calm atmosphere. After spending time at the lake, we will return to the village of Saty. In the evening, a warm and delicious dinner will be waiting for us at the local guesthouse, where you can rest and share impressions from the day.
