From Almaty – to the high mountain plateau of Asy

From 30 000 ₸

Description

It is so high that it seems you can touch the sky with your hand. The grass here is so thick that you can't see the soil underneath it. And the entire plateau is permeated with streams and springs. Herds of horses graze here, wolves and bears live in the spruce forests, and in the juniper thickets there are so many mushrooms and berries!

Excursion plan

Serpentines of the Turgen mountain gorge We will leave Almaty at 9 am and make an impressive 15-kilometer off-road climb that will lead us to the peaks of the Trans-Ili Alatau. These places are very picturesque, famous for waterfalls, coniferous and deciduous forests. On the way we will see a stormy mountain river, stop at the Turgensay visitor center to drink coffee and take a photo on the bridge over Turgen. There is a market in the gorge on weekends where you can buy homemade wine, marshmallows, apples, honey, berries and souvenirs. An alpine meadow is 7 km wide and 40 km long. The Asy Plateau is 2750 meters above sea level, incredible lush green spaces and pristine nature. Here you will see the Asy-Turgen high-mountain observatory. You can’t go there, but you can take as many photos as you want near it. The shots against the background of the 45-meter telescope are very interesting. You can have a picnic on the plateau, end the trip with lunch at a trout farm, or combine it with a visit to Medvezhy Waterfall.
