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.

Before you go

Access routes, vehicle permissions and transport arrangements must be checked before your booking is confirmed. The 4–7-hour estimate can change if a longer walk is required. Tell us about mobility needs and walking preferences. Bring layers, suitable shoes and water. Your quote will specify transport, guiding, any fees and exclusions.
