Car Rental Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan's spectacular mountains and canyons around Almaty are best explored by car. Drive to Charyn Canyon, often compared to the Grand Canyon, the turquoise Kolsai and Kaindy lakes, and Big Almaty Lake in the Tian Shan mountains. Distances are long and some roads rough, so a sturdy car or 4x4 is recommended. Almaty is the usual base, with good roads into the mountains and to the canyons east of the city.
