You can get to the glacier by arriving at Chimbulak ski resort, take the cable car to the Talgarsky pass. From this pass there is a well-trodden path, then you will follow the fossilized scree to the Bogdanovich tongue. Further the route will pass through the Abaya pass (represents a narrow gap in a ridge of rocks). The further path goes along the Abai glacier itself to the path leading to Tuyuk-Su, we reached the devil’s gorge and then cross from the pass to the road.
