We spend our lives chasing things, but we only feel truly alive when chasing moments. Most people travel to see places already seen on screens. At Lepsi Travel, step off the paved path and dive into the untamed soul of the Kazakh steppes and Zhongar Alatau mountains.
The greatest luxury isn’t a five-star hotel lobby—it’s an emotion you didn’t know existed. We offer a raw, authentic nomadic experience. We don’t do “cookie-cutter” tourism. Below is the framework of your journey, but remember: life isn't scripted, and your adventure shouldn't be either. We move at your pace.
Day 1: Horses and the Taste of Kazakh Traditions
Upon arrival at our ethno-camp, enjoy traditional tea and homemade treats before settling into your authentic yurt. In the afternoon, begin a bespoke horseback ride through the rolling steppe.
A special highlight: For those seeking adrenaline, we offer a unique option—we will teach you to gallop during your very first session! Whether you choose to master this or prefer a slow scenic ride, our expert guides ensure total safety. Even beginners and children can deeply connect to our centuries-old heritage.
Next, immerse yourself in our culture with a hands-on culinary workshop. Prepare traditional nomadic dairy products, kurt and zhent. Shape them yourself and taste your fresh creations. As evening falls, enjoy a hearty dinner cooked over an open fire, then relax by the campfire under a star-filled sky.
Day 2: 4x4 Off-Road Adventure to Lake Zhasylkol
After breakfast, embark on a thrilling 4x4 jeep expedition to the hidden gem of Lake Zhasylkol. This is a true overland adventure across rugged mountain passes, alpine meadows, and local dirt tracks. Pass herds of free-roaming horses and crystal-clear streams.
Your guide will share local history and wildlife secrets. Upon arrival, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of emerald waters reflecting snow-capped peaks. No tourist facilities—just untouched nature. Take a guided lakeshore walk while we capture unforgettable photos for you. Lunch is a premium outdoor picnic served right at the water’s edge. Enjoy the total serenity before heading back for a farewell dinner and a peaceful night in your yurt.

The “Uncollectible” ROI: Return home with more than just photos. Return with a redefined perspective and a storey that is entirely yours.
You can buy a ticket anywhere, but this level of connection, freedom, and authentic nomadic luxury is only found here. Let’s find the extraordinary together.
