Is one of mysterious places of foothills at height of 2000 m above sea level among the pine trees, surrounded by mountain peaks. In translation from Kazakh language “Kaindy” means “abounding with birches”. Lake called Kaindy because of the large birch trees located in five kilometers from it.
It arose about 100 years ago as a result of the collapse of a huge mass of rock, blocking the gorge a natural dam. The lake is situated at 12 km East of the first Kolsai lake.
One of the most beautiful places in the Kazakh nature, the lake is called the pearl of the Northern Tien Shan. Three high-mountainous lakes which is often called the pearl of the Northern Tien Shan with a cool, pine-covered slopes are located in spurs of Kungei-Alatau.

Is one of the most unique nature tourist spot. Under the influence of thousand-year processes of weathering of sedimentary rocks, the original form of the relief had taken the shape of isolated rocks, columns and towers. Charyn canyon is a natural monument, built of sedimentary rocks whose age is about 12 million years. The walls often consist of large deposits of clay, which at sunset turn red and shimmer with amazing shadows. If you look at the canyon closely, you may “see” an ancient town, which seems to be real under the rays of the setting sun. Here time and natural factors have created countless grottoes, caves, huge cracks, as if some painter had worked on the entire canyon.
