Description

Discover Kazakhstan in style with BarsTravel, where every moment of your journey is designed to inspire. Travel in ultimate comfort in a powerful Land Cruiser 200 or Lexus LX 570, vehicles built for both luxury and adventure. Your first stop is the enchanting Kolsai Lake. Here you’ll enjoy complimentary catamaran rides and horseback riding, followed by a fresh breakfast with mountain views at Tary Café. This serene alpine setting sets the tone for the day. Next, immerse yourself in the magic of Kaindy Lake, a hidden wonder with its surreal sunken forest and turquoise waters. It’s a place that feels like stepping into a dream, and we make sure every angle is captured with professional photography and drone video, included in your tour. The adventure continues at the Black Canyon, a dramatic landscape where rugged beauty meets silence. Take time to admire, breathe, and capture the wild spirit of Kazakhstan. Finally, experience the grandeur of the Charyn Canyon, often compared to the Grand Canyon and even to Mars itself. The red cliffs, carved by centuries of wind and water, create a view that will stay with you forever. With all entrance tickets included, VIP-level comfort, and memories preserved by our professional team, this is more than just a tour—it’s an unforgettable story of nature, adventure, and discovery.
