This exciting jeep tour is the perfect choice for nature lovers who want to
enjoy a leisurely journey through picturesque locations without haste. The route
takes us across the Assy Plateau, famous for its alpine meadows, endless
expanses, and fresh mountain air.
During the trip, we will visit the Bear Waterfall, hidden among majestic cliffs.
Then, we’ll ascend to the Assy Plateau, home to one of Kazakhstan’s
highest-altitude observatories. Here, you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views,
and on clear days, you can stargaze through powerful telescopes.
Along the way, you’ll witness summer pastures where nomadic shepherds graze
flocks of sheep, horses, and cattle. We will also visit the red Jaman-Uy Canyon,
a miniature version of the famous Charyn Canyon, before concluding our journey
with a relaxing stop by the Bartogay Reservoir.
