Overview

First, we will visit Big Almaty Lake, which is about a 1.5-hour drive from Almaty City. On the way to the lake, you will observe the beautiful mountains, crowded pine trees, and landscape. Upon arriving at The Big Almaty Lake, you will wonder how it was formed as a Big Lake on the top of the mountain hundreds of years ago. Big Almaty Lake is a natural alpine reservoir. It is located in the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, 15 km south of the centre of Almaty in Kazakhstan. The lake is 2511 metres above sea level. During the exploration of the lake, everyone would easily notice the colour of the lake change according to the intensity of sunlight from light blue to heavy dark.
Next, our journey takes us to the Alma-Arasan Gorage. You will see a river that comes from the spring on the top of the mountain and be astonished by its pureness. We will hike along the river for around 1km.
Then, we will discover the Ayusay Gurge.
Finally, we are going to First President Park.
