Highlights
Mountain scenery, views of Big Almaty Lake and photo stops are the focus of this outing. Choose an unhurried scenic visit or discuss a route with more walking. This is a separate destination from Kolsai and Kaindy.
Suggested itinerary
Begin at your agreed pickup point in Almaty. Travel towards the mountain valley, follow the confirmed access route and allow time at permitted viewpoints before returning. The final balance of driving and walking must be agreed before booking; a direct drive to the lakeshore is not promised.
