Savages on Bukhtarma

The Bukhtarma Reservoir is located in Eastern Kazakhstan, located in the middle of the Altai Mountains. This is one of the largest artificial reservoirs in the world. It consists of two sections - one along the Irtysh River valley, and the second section is Lake Zaisan. You can relax on Bukhtarma at recreation centers or as savages. It all depends on what kind of inconvenience you agree to. Recreation centers are mainly located on the northern and southern coasts of Bukhtarma. We recommend recreation centers located near the village of Novaya Bukhtarma in the Makhnatka Mountain area. At the edge of the village there are sewage treatment plants and after cleaning the water is discharged directly into the reservoir. The set of amenities is minimal, far from European.

The best holiday on Bukhtarma is the savages, as they say “cheap and cheerful”. For those who want to swim, it is better to come in July-August. During this period, the water warms up to +23. The road from Ust-Kamenogorsk to the Blue Bay winds among beautiful mountain landscapes and runs through the Osinovsky Pass. This probably played a role in the name of the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk - Mouth of the Kamenny Mountains. For savage holidays on Bukhtarma, we can recommend the coast between Bolshenarymsky and Kurchum. Tens of kilometers of continuous deserted sandy clean beach. There are tall bushes all around and you can find an invisible place. If possible, stock up on groceries, especially if you are coming from Russia. Here the products are more expensive and the quality is worse. There are always beekeepers along the road offering honey. The honey here is excellent, from the Altai Mountains. The Bukhtarma Reservoir is home to fish: peled, ripus, pike, pike perch, perch, sarozhka, grayling, ide, carp, taimen, nelma, trout, burbot, lenok, crucian carp, bream, etc. This is a real paradise for fishing lovers. We wish you a great holiday as savages on Bukhtarma.
