Description

Begin with a comfortable transfer from Almaty city, taking you up the scenic roads of the Big Almaty Gorge. Ascend to an altitude of 2,510 meters above sea level to reach the magnificent Big Almaty Lake (Bolshoye Almatinskoye Ozero). Take your time enjoying the cool, crisp mountain air and capturing photographs of the lake perfectly reflecting the towering, snow-capped peaks of the Northern Tien-Shan range. Next, descend to a lower area for an authentic 2-hour horseback riding experience. Be paired with a reliable horse and guided by a professional instructor. The trail ride takes you through the beautiful canyon of the Big Almaty River, where you will experience the thrill of crossing the river multiple times. A special highlight includes visiting the ancient Boraldai Saka burial mounds, monuments that stand as a powerful reminder of the great nomadic tribes who inhabited this land in the early Iron Age. Conclude with a relaxing transfer back to your hotel in Almaty.
