Hello, My name is Galtsen. I am 33 years old and I live in Kazakhstan, Almaty. If you are visiting Kazakhstan for the first time, whether it is your business trip or traveling, I would be really glad to offer you different types of tours in Almaty. Kazakhstan is the second largest country (after Russia) of the former Soviet Republics. It is geographically diverse, comprised of extensive grassland, semi-desert, and mountainous areas covering almost three million square kilometres (km). Kazakhstan lies in the north of the Central Asian republics and is bordered by Russia in the north, China in the east, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in the south, and the Caspian Sea and part of Turkmenistan in the west. It has almost 1, 894 km of coastline on the Caspian Sea. We can visit all the interesting and historic places in Almaty, go for an adventure tour to beautiful places such as Charyn Canyon, Big Almaty Lake and so much more. I have been graduated from Switzerland, where my specialty was Hospitality Management, so I know what does it mean 5-star service and true hospitality. When I came back to my home country, I really became in love with my city and its beautiful surroundings. I really enjoy to meet new people and show my city. Book a tour and explore central Asia with me. And if you want I am happy to customize the tour for you. Please inquire for a quote. Kind Regards, Galtsen No restrictions

Overview of your Almaty tour

Discover with me two of Kazakhstan’s most breathtaking natural treasures in one unforgettable adventure. This full-day guided tour takes you deep into the heart of the Tian Shan mountains — where dramatic canyons, alpine lakes, and untouched wilderness await. Your journey begins with a scenic drive to Charyn Canyon, often called the “Grand Canyon of Central Asia.” Walk through the famous Valley of Castles, where wind-carved rock formations tower above you in fiery reds and golds. Share the geological and cultural history of this otherworldly landscape, perfect for photos and quiet awe. Next, continue to the Kolsai Lakes, a trio of alpine lakes nestled in the mountains near the Kyrgyz border. Visit the first lake (Kolsai-1), surrounded by dense forests and snowcapped peaks — a stunning place to relax, hike, or picnic by the water. The area is rich in birdlife and pristine air, offering a peaceful contrast to the rugged canyon.
