In Kazakhstan, such recreation is gaining increasing popularity, as is tourism in Kazakhstan as a whole. Therefore, the Republic of Kazakhstan opens its doors to new tourists and wants you to visit the most beautiful sights of the Asian country. There are many of them here, from the cleanest lakes to the high mountains in the Almaty and eastern regions of Kazakhstan. And of course, active recreation is an inseparable part of the residents of resort areas in the country. Since we are talking about mountains, we will provide you with the best places for climbers in our country:

Let's start with the Northern Tien Shan. For lovers of extreme recreation, the northern Tien Shan is one of the best places of its kind throughout Asia. They are located in the Almaty region with the second name Zhetysu-Semirechye. The central part is 170 km long and 33-50 km wide between passes such as Kumbel in the west and Amanzhol in the east. Popular places among climbers in the Zailiysky Alatau are the region of the Malaya Almaty gorge and the Bogdanovich glacier. This glacier is located in the Left Talgar River basin; it is more convenient for climbers to climb it along the route through Maloye Almaty Gorge. But the most popular routes are: large Almaty, Aksai, Kargaly, Kaskelen, Chimolgan.

Let's move smoothly from mountaineering to ski holidays, which also has a place in Kazakhstan, since there are mountains and snow too, and what kind of ski resorts, many countries can only envy such natural landscapes. For example, the Chimbulak ski resort was among the 15 best ski resorts on the planet.

Chimbulak is located on the ridge of the Trans-Ili Alatau and next to one of the most famous skating rinks in the world "Medeo“And already 25 km away is the city of Almaty. The resort is located in a national park at approximately 2200-2500 meters. The climatic conditions are ideal for active recreation in Kazakhstan, since the temperature at the Chimbulak resort in winter is - 7C. You can climb to the top by cable car, located 800 meters from Medeo skating rink. “Chimbulak” operates around the clock, the chairlifts operate from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The Chimbulak Hotel is located at an altitude of 2260 meters above sea level, the hotel has a total of 55 rooms. A standard hotel room for 2 people costs 20000 tenge; there is a discount on weekdays.

Horseback riding in Almaty. In the Almaty region there is a highly modern complex “Altyn-Aray”, which is located in the Chubaragash tract, which is 35 km away. From Almaty, from the resort itself, it’s already a stone’s throw to the Ak Bulak hotel. The equestrian resort is located among apple orchards, aspen and birch groves in the mountainous area. For the fourth year now, I have been open to an exciting and prestigious hobby. On its vast territory there are three spacious, bright stables, where excellent conditions have been created for keeping horses. Here everything is thought out to the smallest detail - and individual drinking bowls and windows in the stalls of each horse, where they happily stick out their muzzles and breathe in fresh, rich air. There is a horse wash, tack rooms and staff rooms.

Rafting in Almaty. Many people don’t even know what it is, but it turns out that this entertainment brings great joy and a sea of ​​emotions. This is rafting down the river on various devices, catamarans, boats, etc. But of course, nothing compares to a raft - a raft differs from a regular boat in that it is more stable on the water. On a raft, people are placed on the sides, their legs are fixed with special fastenings, and everyone is given a paddle. The best place for rafting is the Turgen River. We wish you a pleasant holiday in Kazakhstan and we are sure that an active holiday in Kazakhstan will leave you with wonderful memories.
