These rocks are located in a beautiful place, on the banks of the grand Ili River, which adds to the visual component of this place.

Our program will be as follows. First, we will go to Tamgaly-Tas. We will study all the petroglyphs and enjoy the beautiful landscapes around. We will walk along the Ili River and take pictures. We will probably see rock climbers, because this is their favorite place. The local rocks are ideal for honing the skills of rock climbers, who devote every weekend to training. There are many routes of varying difficulty. After that, we will have a picnic on the river bank and have a hearty lunch. After lunch, we will go back and stop by car on the other side of the Ili River to see the famous "Ancient City", which was created in 2004 for the filming of the historical film Nomad.
