What awaits you on this trip
Diversity of landscape
To see this wild land without crowds of tourists, you need to wind a considerable number of kilometers along the highways of the Almaty region and mountain off-road. However, it is worth it. Wide mountain valleys, huge seething rivers, high waterfalls, large lakes and wild nature await you here.
Overnight in tents
We will spend the night in tents, a million-star hotel. Magical sunsets and sunrises in good weather. In the evening, we will have conversations about the sublime and camping romance in a cool company of people. Far from the city and the lights of the metropolis, this is the best place for observing the stars and the Milky Way.
Trekking
Our trip will include easy beautiful trekking in picturesque places. We will go to a waterfall and a viewing point. And also go on an easy hike to Lake Zhasylkol Nizhny. The trekking takes no more than an hour and a half.

Border zone! The waterfall is located in the border zone. It is necessary to have identity documents. Foreigners - a passport. To see this wild land, you need to wind a considerable number of kilometers along the roads of the Almaty region and mountain off-road. However, it is worth it. Wide mountain valleys, huge raging rivers, high waterfalls, large lakes and wild nature are waiting for you here. This tour will be interesting for those who want to enjoy wild nature and a small number of people. Due to the very difficult road, a real mountain off-road, few people get here.
