Altyn-Emel, Hot Springs, Charyn Canyon & Kolsai Lakes — Multi-Day Private Jeep Tour

This is Wildtour's most comprehensive route in the Almaty region — a multi-day private expedition that combines four distinct natural landscapes into a single journey.

What you'll experience: Day one takes you into Altyn-Emel National Park: the Singing Dune, the white Aktau Mountains, and the volcanic Katutau. On the way, you'll stop at natural hot springs — warm mineral water in a remote setting, with no crowds. Day two brings Charyn Canyon, with its famous Valley of Castles and 300-meter walls of red sandstone. The final stage leads to the Kolsai Lakes — three alpine lakes rising through the Tien Shan mountains, surrounded by spruce forest and silence.


Why Wildtour: Four locations, one private vehicle, one experienced guide, zero strangers. This route covers serious distances on mixed terrain — only a properly equipped luxury 4x4 makes it comfortable and safe. All permits for Altyn-Emel National Park are handled by Wildtour. Campfire meals throughout. Starlink connectivity wherever you are.
