- Lake Issyk - Begin the day bright and early with a 6:00 AM pickup directly from your hotel in a comfortable jeep or SUV. Embark on a picturesque 80 km journey (approximately 2 hours) through rolling foothills and stunning mountain vistas. The first destination is Lake Issyk, an alpine lake situated at 1,760 meters above sea level. It’s an ideal location to embrace the spirit of the Tian Shan and take some breathtaking photos.
- Ayusai Gorge - Following that, enjoy a leisurely 1-hour hike to Bear Waterfall. The trail is scenic and accessible for both children and seniors. At the waterfall, take time to relax and enjoy the refreshing mist (swimming is encouraged!). There will be ample opportunities for photography. Afterward, hike back down to the vehicle (approximately 1 hour).
- Turgen - Next, travel about 1 hour to a local trout farm. You have the option to try fishing (additional cost), and if successful, they will cook your catch on the spot. Relish a fresh lunch before returning. The drive back to Almaty takes about 2 hours, with a hotel drop-off around 6:00 PM. Feel free to ask your guide to take photos throughout the day. We are delighted to assist in capturing unforgettable memories.
