Surprisingly beautiful and little-visited places are located in the south-east of Almaty region in the Terskey Alatau mountains. This mountainous area is mostly located in Kyrgyzstan. Only the eastern extremity of the ridge, the maximum height of which is 4428 m (Ashutor peak), enters Kazakhstan. Wide valleys, spruce forests, mountain rivers and lakes, high peaks here have everything to enjoy the magnificent mountain landscapes. The main thing is that in good weather from this area you can see the highest peak of Kazakhstan – the peak of Khan-Tengri with a height of 7010 m. Its marble, burning in the sun, a pyramid covered with legends of centuries is very popular among climbers from around the world. We will also see one of the most beautiful peaks of our country: the Marble Wall, Bayankol, Semenova, Shater and others. One night we will spend at the picturesque lake Tuzkol, from which all these peaks are visible. Especially good photos are obtained from this place at dawn and dusk.

Weather. The area is 100% mountainous, so rainfall, hail and thunderstorms in summer are common, especially in the afternoons.
