Aktau is a mountainous sedimentary massif, which reaches a height of 1000 meters and a length of 5 kilometers. The total area of the ridge is 50 square kilometers. It lies in the east of the Almaty region, in the Kerbulak region of the natural park. From the east it is bounded by the Kalshalysek tract, the valley of the dried up rivers Kokterek and Bokabaidyn-Ashasy. The sands of Aigaikum are located in the south. Aktau is called a "dead" mountain because nothing grows on it. Another name for the protected area is the Museum of the Earth's Past. Aktau consists of colored stones, the age of which, according to various sources, is 60,000,000 years. The mountain is a set of sandstone, red clay, pink carnelian, jasper and white quartz.

Swap city streets for a cinematic mountain lake at 2,511 m. A scenic road winds through spruce forests to Big Almaty Lake, where glacier-fed waters glow turquoise beneath snow-dusted peaks. Flexible pacing, stunning photos, zero complicated logistics. Why book Iconic, must-see lake just outside Almaty Short, gentle walks to the best viewpoints (beginner-friendly) Plenty of photo stops + local guide tips Private or small group; hotel pick-up on request What to expect Panoramic drive through the Big Almaty Gorge with lookout stops Time at the main terraces for wide-angle lake shots Optional short hike to nearby vantage points for different angles Coffee/tea break at a mountain café (time permitting) Good to know Altitude ~2,500 m: pace yourself, drink water Weather changes quickly—bring layers, hat, and sunscreen ID/passport required at the checkpoint (border-zone area) Access to the water’s edge is usually restricted; views are from designated spots

The Charyn canyon is a breathtaking place in the Tian-Shan mountain branches, which origin dates back to the Neogene period. The unique monument of nature, which is often compared to the Grand Canyon in the United States, is located 200 kilometers from the city of Almaty. The landscape of the area is systematically changing, thanks to which the territory of the canyon was chosen by many representatives of flora and fauna, including individuals listed in the Red Book of Kazakhstan. The most prominent and memorable places of the great gorge are the Valley of Castles, the Ash and Turang Groves, the Charyn River. The Eco Park operates on the territory of the Charyn canyon, where visitors can visit the mini-zoo, go on an off-road safari ride and quad bike, try a traditional Saka bath and have a tasty lunch at local cafes.
