Kazakhstan🇰🇿 Almaty Trip

✈️ Direct flight from Korea: 6 hours and 30 minutes! Almaty, Kazakhstan

Not many people have been there yet, so there's not much information, but it's still an easy trip!
I'm writing this because I love it so much: You should definitely visit Almaty.

💡 Basic Information
💲 Kazakhstan uses the tenge. (Tenge x 2.6 is equivalent to Korean won.)
- Shinhan Sol Travel Card accepts tenge.
- Other travel cards are also accepted.
- If you exchange your money into dollars, you can withdraw tenge at ATMs in the city. There are so many ATMs!
- Most accept cards, so you can exchange a little and use your card.
🌡 I went in early September, and the weather is similar to Korea.
It was just a little cooler.
✅️ Visa-free entry for Koreans

In this post, I'll explain about the day tour. I was very satisfied!
You can use a well-known local tour agency and book in advance via WhatsApp.

My itinerary was very tight, from 4:30 AM to 10:00 PM.

🔥Places Visited
Charn Canyon, Black Canyon
Kol Sai Lake
Kaindy Lake

Charn Canyon (Photos 1 and 2)
After meeting in the city, it's about a three-hour drive.
I walked down the canyon and into the valley. It was so beautiful that I kept taking pictures along the way. The Purgong does move around, but it only operates after 9:30 AM. It takes about 40-50 minutes to walk from the point to the valley. If you take the tour, there's a set return time, so you can either ride the Purgong on the way back or turn around midway. I thought I was going to die.

Black Canyon (Photo 3)
It's really pretty even from the top. It took about 20 minutes. There was a swing that swung down toward the canyon, but I was too scared to ride it.

Kolsa Lake (Photos 4, 5, 6, and 7)
You can take a boat ride on Kolsa Lake. I didn't ride it, but it looks really pretty. To see Kolsa Lake, you have to walk down from the parking lot for about 10 minutes, but it's not too difficult. You can also ride the Purgong or a horse! But why bother? I wanted to go.

Kaindy Lake (Photo 8)
There are three ways to get to Lake Kaindy: 1. Ride a horse (8,000 tenge round trip)
2. Ride a prugong to the middle and hike (500 tenge one way)
3. Hike from the beginning (free)
I'm afraid of horseback riding, so I took a prugong and hiked from the middle!
The prugong was almost like a disco, but the hike was worth it. I think it took about 15 minutes. Lake Kaindy was the best place I've been to. It's so mysterious!!!
They say it was created by an earthquake, but it could disappear after a long time. I hope you go soon.

Since I used a tour, things like meals and prices may vary depending on the travel agency.
Since it's over a three-hour drive, I recommend a day tour over an independent trip!!!!

Honestly, it was a bit tiring, but it was so wonderful, I have no regrets. If you're visiting Almaty, it's not an option; it's a must.
