Häufige Fragen

Is this a private tour?

Yes. The transport and the English-speaking driver-guide are for your party only, from the second to the sixth day, and the airport transfers are private too.

Where do we stay?

Five nights at the East Palace Hotel, a four-star hotel in Almaty, and one night in a guesthouse in Saty village, close to the Kolsai and Kaindy lakes. Breakfast is included throughout.

Do I need to bring luggage to Saty?

Only a small overnight bag. The night in Saty is a single stop on the way between the lakes, and you return to the same hotel in Almaty the next day.

When is the best time to go?

The lakes and mountain roads are most reliable from late spring to early autumn. In late autumn and winter the roads to Kolsai and Kaindy can close after snow, Kaindy Lake can freeze, and the Shymbulak cable car can pause for maintenance between seasons; these are reconfirmed before booking.

Which meals are included?

Breakfast every day. Lunches and dinners are not included, and your driver-guide can suggest places along the route.

Do I need a visa for Kazakhstan?

That depends on your nationality. Many visitors can enter without a visa for a short stay, but the rules differ by passport, so check them before you book flights.
