Description
Skip the rushed, copy-paste tourist loops. This refined day trip focuses on Almaty’s wild east through four distinct elements: the deep forest, raw water, open flame, and alpine silence.
We start with an intentional, slow-paced hike through the pine-scented Turgen Gorge to the roaring 30-meter Bear Waterfall. Next, we escape to a riverside trout farm. You will have free time to relax by the water and order fresh trout grilled over an open fire (please note: lunch is optional and at your own expense). We finish the day at Lake Issyk (1,760m), exploring its dramatic history and deep turquoise waters during the quietest afternoon hours, completely free from the usual tourist rush.
