Kolsay
You've hardly seen anything like this before, and we haven't seen it anywhere else. A lake in the mountains, and in it the forest stands waist-deep in water.
Here is what Wikipedia says about this place:
Lake Kaindy is located at an altitude of 1880 meters above sea level. The lake is 40 meters long, and its depth is from 18 to 30 meters. The lake was formed as a result of the Kemin earthquake in January 1911. In the late 1980s, the area of the lake decreased after the passage of mudflows. In summer, the average air temperature reaches +23 degrees, and water +6. Despite the low water temperature, Lake Kaindy is popular with diving enthusiasts.

Charyn Canyon
Kaindy
Perhaps, if not the Most, then one of the most popular tourist locations in the Almaty region. Almost every guest of our country, and the people of Kazakhstan themselves, dream of seeing this famous mountain lake. It is located at an altitude of 1854 meters above sea level. It is located 300 km from Almaty, in (without shameless exaggeration) the most beautiful gorge of the eastern part of the Kungei-Alatau ridge. There are only three lakes, but in this tour we visit only the lower one.
What local residents do not offer from activities on the shore. Here and catamarans and rides on horseback. Your guide will make sure to offer you an easy walk along the lake so you can see as much as possible behind the fascinating story of origins and
uniqueness of Kolsay.

Surely before us you have already contacted our colleagues and this location was presented by all of them in the first place. Do not be surprised, but we are there too. The place is so unusual that even experienced tourists return to the canyon more than one (attention) dozen times.
Here is what Wikipedia says about this place:
The canyon stretches for 154 km along the Charyn River In Kazakhstan. The canyon is located 195 km east of the city of Almaty, near the border with China. The Charyn Canyon is a natural monument made up of sedimentary rocks, whose age is about 12 million years. The height of the steep mountains of the canyon reaches 150-300 m. Until now, some of our compatriots are arguing about how it appeared .. thanks to the wind or the sea is to blame. Guess the correct answer?
We have candy!
