Description

Discover the best of Almaty on a private day tour combining city highlights, local culture, and spectacular mountain scenery. Travel at a comfortable pace and spend more time at the places you enjoy most. First, we will visit Big Almaty Lake, which is about a 1-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 center of Almaty in Kazakhstan. The lake is 2511 meters above sea level. During the exploration of the lake, everyone would easily notice the color of the lake change according to the intensity of sunlight from light blue to heavy dark. Afterward, we will visit the Alma Arasan hot springs, located in a picturesque gorge in Zailiysky Alatau in the south-west of Almaty (height 1827 m) near the Big Almaty Lake, known for its hot radon springs. This is a popular holiday destination with the Prokhodnaya River, restaurants, sanatoriums and well-maintained hiking trails, accessible all year round. Meet your local English-speaking guide, who will assist you throughout the day, share information about Almaty and Kazakhstan, and help you capture memorable photos and videos. Head to Big Almaty Lake, one of the most beautiful mountain destinations near Almaty, surrounded by the impressive peaks of the Tian Shan mountains. Admire the lake's bright turquoise color, fresh alpine air, and dramatic mountain scenery. Located high above the city, the area offers peaceful viewpoints, beautiful photo opportunities, and a completely different atmosphere from central Almaty. Enjoy the scenic mountain road, stop at panoramic viewpoints, take photos, and spend time surrounded by nature.
