What to bring

Be sure to take your passport or ID, Kolsai and Kaindy are in border zone and your documents can be checked
✅ Comfortable shoes
Sneakers or Boots will be a good helper in walking in the mountains; will be perfect if shoes waterproof
✅ Comfortable and warm clothes
At the same time warm (because it can be very cold in the mountains) and clothing that does not restrict movement
✅ Sun protection
Sunglasses, a hat and cream will help you out in sunny weather
✅ Raincoat or umbrella
In the mountains where the Kolsai lakes are located, it rains very often and the weather forecast is not accurate, so it’s better to bring rain protection with you
