Saty

Saty is a small village nestled in the Shilik Valley, serving as a gateway to some of Kazakhstan's most stunning natural attractions. Located less than 100 kilometers from the famous Charyn Canyon and near the breathtaking Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes, Saty is part of the Kolsai Lakes National Park. The park, established in 2007, stretches along the northern slopes of the Tien Shan mountains and is home to a wide variety of rare species like the Tien Shan brown bear and snow leopard.

Although small, Saty has embraced its role as a base for travelers looking to explore the surrounding natural beauty. Here, you can experience the charm of rural Kazakh life, with local families providing accommodations and serving meals prepared from homegrown vegetables, fruits, and locally sourced meat and dairy products. While Saty itself is quiet and small, its proximity to Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes makes it a perfect base for exploring these picturesque destinations.
