A beautiful lake!
Of course, it is quite small and there are a lot of people there, especially on a day off, but it is worth noting as a point on the map to visit.
The lake can be reached on foot and on horseback. We went up on horseback, but the same people who went up with us at the same time were with us at the same time. Those who keep and rent out the end are just a rider, comrades. Not everyone takes care of the horses there, a horse was climbing with us in the group, which was limping and barely walking, and they beat him with a rod. If you love animals, I advise you to just pay attention to your own and those who rent it out to the condition of the animal. Horses can be very exhausted.
The drop-off cost 20,000 tenge per car (round trip), to climb on horseback — 6000 tenge.
Also, we were told that you can eat upstairs, but the maximum that there is is a stall with corn and chips. The toilet is paid, 100 tenge.
Impressions of nature — 10/10
Impressions of human activity 3/10.
Thank you for reading this review, I hope it will be useful for you!
A magnificent place, the air is full of the aromas of coniferous trees and various herbs. There are disadvantages in the sense that you have to pay for every step, barriers are everywhere. Check-in is regulated according to the principle of the owner of the barrier, someone can almost get to the lake in their cars, someone does not, basically everyone is put in a UAZ, it is not clear why UAZ can drive there and pollute the surrounding air, while others do not... I am glad that there are enough urns, but still someone throws by … Despite all the disadvantages, there are more advantages, it is worth visiting if you find yourself in those parts.
Beautiful! The business card of the natural attractions of Kazakhstan. You need to arrive before 8-9h, otherwise you will compete for a place for photos with large groups. They appear suddenly and a lot, tourists from different countries. Some come on foot from the parking lot, some are brought on horseback, some on local SUVs. Walk around the lake along the trail, watch from different angles, and drink the freshest water from a mountain spring on the way. It takes 2-3 hours to inspect with a photo walk back and forth.
Beautiful, cold. Two trails lead to it from the starting glade along different banks of the river. The left one is longer and simpler, with a small climb, but there is a lot of horse manure on it, as those who want to get to the lake on horseback are carried along it. The right-hand path is shorter, without manure, but with a steep ascent. You can drive along it on a loaf the most difficult part of the way. First, you come to the review and go down to the catwalk. But it is interesting to go further, along the path around the lake to the descent to the water, where you can sit on the pebbles by the rocks and wet your feet. This place is a real relaxation)
A beautiful lake. You can get there by yourself in a high car, you will not pass the 2nd ford by car. I recommend finding a loaf, many people bring it here (there are cars at guest houses). Previously, it was possible to get directly to the lake, now the road has been blocked. You reach the barrier, then either walk uphill and off the mountain (the path is small, but actually heavy) or you can drive this way on a loaf for a small amount (translated into rubles). You still have to walk a little bit, since the road is up, it's hard to walk in the heat, take water with you. There is a playground near the lake. There are toilets. An observation deck from below near the lake and an observation deck above. From the second one, you can bypass the lake and go down to it from the opposite shore.
Kayyndy is an emerald hidden in the picturesque mountains. Be sure to wander around the lake in addition to the lake itself. These are our Swiss Alps. And don't forget - we are guests there! Therefore, in no case should you disturb the inhabitants of the forest, take care of this beauty, and most importantly, remember that you can not throw garbage. We take everything we brought with us back to the city. And not only his own. We always collect all the garbage we see along the way.
The lake is very picturesque, but the coolest adventure was to get to it! We rode horses! It was very difficult and scary in places, but we will definitely remember this all our lives. The water in the lake is icy, so there are only photos and rest, without swimming. It is better to take food and drink with you, although there seems to be a tent with water and snacks. In general, I recommend it, the location is very beautiful!
A wonderful place with nature still preserved. Have time to join in before the business has built up all the tents. It is always difficult to find a balance between the accessibility of the attraction and the fragile ecosystem.
A unique place. Streams flow into the lake, we saw three tributaries, in cloudless weather the color of the water is unique- turquoise green, shimmers with azure, the purest water, possibly mineralized, very cold, without algae, clean air, unique mountains, you can bargain and ride to the lake on horseback, the trip is as positive and impressive as possible.
A beautiful turquoise lake, a small number of people, it is possible for a symbolic fee to drive from the parking lot to the tent camp, and then walk down to the lake
The lake is improved, cleanliness and order are observed
Nature class
I drove my car unknowingly, I drove along the sign, the road is not for every car, I reached the first ford and decided to go further and did the right thing, I needed a minimum of a pradik type, then as it turned out, a couple more places are not very good (another ford and a puddle of mud are deep enough).
It turns out that it was necessary to drive a little further along the asphalt and there you rent a UAZ and already drive it to the lake. They take you to the site, from here the options are on foot, by horse or for 500 tenge on another UAZ
A very atmospheric place, the beautiful color of the water, the trees standing in it, the mountains around ...
We went down on horseback, everything is organized there so-so, but as an option it may well be. You can also go down on foot or by "loaf". In any case, you will get great pleasure from the surrounding landscapes
The mountain lake is beautiful in itself and there is no need for more. There are not enough equipped descents. One platform is not enough for the flow of people. Casting is a separate attraction )
One of the pearls of the Almaty region. An incredible lake created by nature. I highly recommend good closed shoes, sunscreen and a raincoat - the weather in those places is changeable
Beauty! I was in winter, in summer, I think it was much more interesting. Gorgeous views all around. Plus the unforgettable experience of horseback riding to the lake.
We were at Kaindy Lake in August 2024. To say that I was amazed is to say nothing. This place is amazing in its beauty! The location in the mountains is incredibly beautiful, the color is incredibly beautiful and the shocking fact of flooded pines. It is a must-visit if you live or rest in Almaty.
An amazing place, it has retained its sophistication. I couldn't even imagine that we have such wonders of nature in Kazakhstan. To say that Kindy is a beautiful place of nature is not to say anything at all.
The place is mandatory to visit, although the path is not easy, it is better to take care of the transfer in advance, you should not drive your car if you do not have a full-fledged SUV, although it is better to save it too.
An inaccessible lake. All-wheel drive and high ground clearance will help you. We'll have to drive two fords across the river. Two checkpoints, overnight stay with tents is paid.
The road there is not for a passenger car. You get to the nickel, then either walk 4km, or to the UAZ and then walk again, but already 1km. The road is washed out this year due to constant rains.
Невероятное место... к самому озеру можно проехать на лошадях. Мужчина Ергали, всем советую обратится именно к нему за конными прогулками. Очень добрый, чуткий, весёлый, ответственный и доброжелтельный человек!!!!
Озеро просто сказка, непередоваемо, и летом и зимой и осенью, когда листва золотистая, но местное самоуправление все портит. Туалет ( дырка в полу) - 100 тенге! Сидит невоспитаная бишарашка, отрывает бумагу и берет деньги себе на хлеб.
Второе, для "борьбы" с безработице, так как многие уже едут туда на своих авто, так как дорогу более менее сделали, не мудрствуя особо, запретили вьезд на своих внедорожниках к верхней стоянке. Запустили там дряхлые убитые буханки и все под видов борьбы за безопасность, а когда эта убитая доисторическая буханка упадёт с серпантина и убьёт с собой более 10 человек, новый директор, который наверняка имеет с них мзду, никто не думает. И конечно с 500 тенговичей и ему преподаёт, ведь ни билетов ни учёта нет!
Третье строят прям у озера различные магазины и забегаловки. Губят природу и уникальное место.
Со мной были друзья с Германии, они были в шоке и от туалетов и от уазиков и от новосёлов.
Вот так мы сами губим это уникальное место
Прекрасное озеро с мёртвыми деревьями, существующее около 100 лет.
От окраины посёлка Саты к парковке у озера ведёт отличная грунтовка, доступная любой машине с полным приводом. Поехали на Duster в январе 2023 после снегопада.
Зимой от парковки до озера надо добираться по правому берегу реки, по небольшой дороге, идущей в гору. Идти 30 минут.
Летом можно воспользоваться тропой по левому берегу или сходить кругом.
The road is bad, you can only drive an SUV. Then there is a very long way along the road with a very unpleasant smell of horse excrement and urine. The view of the lake is good from a couple of places. It's too hot a place. I recommend visiting Kolsai, it is nearby, the road is excellent, the infrastructure is there and there are much more positive impressions
Доехали до поселка Саты, там на буханке за 20000тенге нас привезли к подъему. Можно было так же подняться на бузанке, на лошади или пешком - около километра. Мы шли пешком. Озеро впечатляет, не зря карабкались))) на обратном пути начался ливень, водитель буханки нас ждал у подножия. Ехали быстро, потому- что с гор текли реки воды и размывало дорогу. И сама езда на буханке, и ливень- часть приключения- нам все понравилось.
Великолепно. Хотя бы один раз стоит съездить. Есть конеые прогулки. Можно от парковки пешком подняться. Дорога от с.Саты грунтовая, подходит даже для малых кроссоверов. По дороге 2 брода, для легковых сложные.
It is inconvenient to get there. When it snows, rains, there is a lot of dirt on the walking part of the road. They offer horses for this, so as not to walk through the mud, the price is high.
The lake is small and was formed by flooding of mountain waters, the trees that stick out are no longer alive and the trunks remain. Perhaps the summer is more beautiful, I was in autumn.
Шикарная природная достопримечательность. Подъезд к озеру сложный из-за размытой грунтовой дороги. Проехать можно только на джипе, УАЗе или Делике. Рядом с местом парковки предлагают взять напрокат лошадей для подъёма к озеру. Берите - не пожалеете. Само озеро очень красивое, вода бирюзовая и чистая.

A test ride on a "loaf", a walking route to the lake, the beauty of the lake is known to the world)) there are many places for beautiful photos. Back mostly in the ascent, but not strenuously.
This is an extraordinarily beautiful place. There are a lot of impressions. We got to the lake by UAZ and then by horse. Everything is organized very well.
The road to the lake is very difficult and not easy. The last 5 km generally drove on a super broken road and had to cross the river several times. You can't drive a sedan. From the parking place to go a couple of km on foot. Well, I expected more, in my opinion Issyk and BAO are much more beautiful
Everything is super. Very beautiful. But the road is very bad. You can drive your own car, but you'll kill the whole walker. It is better to pay and drive on a loaf.
Короче там 4 км от трассы двигались 45 минут. По началу не знал что есть буханки, но и они не подарок, 20к заряжают за салон) не важно скок вас(эт по наслышке говорю). Вопщем на седанах туда не стоит ехать в салон может забежать вода, три раза надо будет реку переесжать. Дальше уже 1,5 км на лошадках думаю стоит своих денег и комфорта за 5к туда и обратно.
Шикарное место!
Наконец алматинец побывал здесь!
Нас было 18 человек, почти все были впервые!
Озеро образовалось в результате Кеминского землетрясения в январе 1911 года, событие не самое приятное, но результат радует современность. Хотя Каинды переводится как "изобилующий берёзами", но на самом деле из озера поднимаются ели.
Мы не пожалели сил, которые потратили с моей семьёй и друзьями!
Expectation and reality. Of course, the nature there is super, beautiful. But the road is a capital, dangerous and of course local taxis and cars are terrible. This place can be visited once in a lifetime.
Природа супер! Сервис ноль, к самому озеру дороги практически нет. На лошадях опасно, каски на голову не дают. Обслуживающий персонал не вежлив кричат матерятся.
Повторюсь а природа супер стоит посмотреть.
