Kolsai lakes!
Very beautiful. That year, wooden steps were made for tourists, it helps to comfortably descend to the lakes.
There is a cafe.
You can ride horses, boats and catamarans. It was at the end of September. The weather in the mountains is changing, it's better to have something to throw on.
It takes 3.5 hours from Almaty.
Excellent infrastructure and the lake is amazing! A walk around the lake is not the most picturesque, but standing in the parking lot or observation deck and contemplating is fine
It's beautiful, but:
The worst coffee I've ever had.
If you pay attention to the water, passing along the wooden deck above the lake, the bottom is strewn with cans and bags and other similar debris. As well as all the sights of Kazakhstan.
There are also cigarette butts everywhere.
There was a lure with the horses that we would see a waterfall and a cave. So a waterfall is a pipe from which water flows, a cave, but without light. Just a hole.
Horses are top, but they can't run, they just walk.
My expert opinion is that this is just a great place, you definitely need to go! Nature is just a sight, my inner Stanislavsky believed it :) Be sure to bring warm clothes with you.
We did not encounter any bad work by the hotel staff. Yes, I won't dissemble, but the rooms are already in need of cosmetic repairs, but in general it is very acceptable, given the difficult transport accessibility. Breakfast, in our opinion, was all meager, but again they justified the difficult delivery of groceries and the opportunity to have breakfast in Tara's restaurant. I would like to add that, in general, the hotel can be reached on foot by stairs , for us it seemed more convenient than off-road . But if you have a lot of things and children , then probably the transfer option is still more affordable.
Come to Kolsai, breathe , see nature, relax your brain Zorger, if you come from Almaty, if you come out of the afternoon Air 4 hours drive, in the evening before reaching Kolsai, there are many hotels in the village, where you can spend the night and go to Azan in the morning, you will be far from breathing.
Excellent restaurant, excellent service, affordable prices, delicious food. The only drawback is a non-working toilet, but the sinks work and that's good. The chicken fricassee was delicious, and so were the mantas, but they were a little over-salted.
Incredible views that are impossible to believe in the first time - nature is so beautiful.
Among the disadvantages, cellular communication is poorly caught, which is why it is advisable to stock up on cash to pay for local services.
There would be more and cleaner toilets, there are huge crowds of tourists on weekends, so it's better to come on weekdays or stay there for a few days
Hello everyone, I want to share my impressions, very spacious houses and warm, there is also a cool sauna, delicious breakfasts to choose from, good staff , satisfied with everything, I recommend it.
This is our nature and our pride. The beauty is indescribable. The only negative is the people who are stupid, throw garbage everywhere, behave awesome without thinking about nature conservation. It's not about everyone, but about the majority.
A beautiful view, the territory was fenced, steps were made to go down to the lake and piers around the lake. Clean air, clear water, beautiful view...
I was in the summer of 2013, I walked to the second lake, I really liked it, I wanted to visit everything in winter. I went on the last day of winter 2024. Awesome
Heaven on earth is an indescribable feeling. It is impossible to convey the emotions that you feel at the sight of such beauty. Nature is the most powerful, the place is unforgettable. Recommend 👍
The place is very beautiful, there is a taxi, but the taxi drivers wanted to deceive me, they took 200 tenge for the descent and asked for 2500 tenge for the ascent, although it was only 500 meters to go. I didn't pay and the taxi driver felt ashamed.
There is fast food and a lot of it, a restaurant, gazebos, toilets.
The top five is only for nature, and the infrastructure needs to be tightened. Especially wooden ladders, the supports are very flimsy, the water side is not covered with a net. The child almost failed.
The area is very beautiful! The height from Almaty is 1200m. The prices are expensive. There are houses for people in the village of Saty. from 5000tg. without food.
There is no very beautiful word, you have made your way, only the way to the lake kaiyndy is bad, and the prices are affordable, you can return to a beautiful rest👍
