Description

This tour offers two breathtaking options: ride to the iconic Big Almaty Lake (BAO) or explore the peaceful alpine meadow of Kok-Zhailau. Both routes offer fresh mountain air, panoramic views, and an unforgettable connection with nature—all with the ease and fun of an e-bike. If you choose the BAO route, you'll cycle through forested hills and winding mountain roads to reach one of Kazakhstan’s most famous alpine lakes. Surrounded by towering peaks and reflecting turquoise water, Big Almaty Lake is a perfect place to explore, relax, and take photos. After enjoying the view and the fresh mountain breeze, you’ll ride back downhill and return to the city. Prefer a quiet alpine meadow instead? The Kok-Zhailau option leads you along a scenic trail into the heart of the Ile-Alatau mountains. Once you reach the peaceful Kok-Zhailau plateau, you’ll have time to roam, soak in the tranquility, and appreciate views stretching across the city and beyond. It’s a popular spot for locals to unwind and a great way to feel immersed in Kazakhstan’s nature. We are a licensed tour company with 9 years of experience running daily group tours in Almaty.
