Day Tours
10 different 1-day trips from Almaty. We’ll choose together, based on your dates and the weather at the destination.
Zailiysky Alatau
Three of the region’s biggest natural landmarks in a single day: the sunken spruce forest at Kaindy, mountain-fringed Kolsay Lake, and Charyn Canyon. It’s a long day, but nothing shows off how varied the landscape gets just a few hours from Almaty quite like it.
Altyn-Emel
A trip into Altyn-Emel National Park: a sand dune that hums with a low rumble in dry weather, and one of the oldest trees in the country. Along the way, wide-open desert scenery you won’t find in the mountains.
Zailiysky Alatau
A gentle mountain route for anyone craving cool air and quiet. Alpine meadows, snow‑capped peaks on the horizon, and a waterfall waiting at the end.
Zailiysky Alatau
This route covers the widest range of elevation — and scenery — of them all: from a green gorge up to a high‑altitude plateau with its own observatory, then down into a multicolored canyon and on to a turquoise reservoir in the middle of the steppe.
Almaty Region
Rust-red, folded hills without a single tree — scenery that genuinely looks like it belongs on another planet. Barely anyone comes here, and you can only reach it in a properly equipped vehicle.
Zailiysky Alatau
Steppe and mountains, side by side, in a single day: open water right at the foot of the range, and three gorges laid out below you like a map.
Dzungarian Alatau
Hot springs, a winding mountain pass, and a blooming valley — this route is at its best during flower season.
Zailiysky Alatau
The range’s western foothills: mountain rivers, abandoned mine tunnels, and a mountain-pass view straight into Kyrgyzstan. One of the most underrated routes near Almaty.
Zailiysky Alatau
A short route with a dramatic drive: the road winds up along the gorge to a high‑altitude lake in a deep, saturated turquoise.
Zailiysky Alatau
The closest high‑altitude spot to the city — and still one of the highest lakes around. A great choice when you’re short on time but still want the mountains.
Multi-Day Tours
Eight routes with overnight stays. We provide the tents.
Altyn-Emel
An extended version of our Altyn-Emel day trip, with an overnight added so you can also reach the chalk mountains of Aktau — layered pink, white, and grey ridges that look like something from another planet. More time in the park means more time at the dune itself, and a slower, fuller look at one of Kazakhstan’s most striking landscapes.
Dzungarian Alatau
A trip to the tallest waterfall in Kazakhstan, tucked deep in the Dzungarian Alatau above the Kora River gorge. The road in is rough enough that only a proper 4x4 makes it — which is exactly why the place stays quiet, and why the alpine air feels like a different season entirely.
Zailiysky Alatau
A multi-day push deep into the Zailiysky Alatau, off‑roading through some of its most scenic terrain to reach a high alpine basin scattered with over a hundred small lakes. Not a place you can get to and back from in a day — which is exactly what keeps it so untouched.
Turkestan Region
A road trip south along one of the most scenic highways in the country, then off it entirely: a waterfall, a river gorge, a wild hike to a second waterfall, and one of the region’s biggest karst caves, all packed into a few days around Shymkent.
Karaganda Region
A strange, quiet massif rising straight out of the Karaganda steppe — granite that looks like it melted and re-hardened mid-flow. No one fully agrees on how it formed, which is part of what makes it worth the drive.
Turkestan Region
A multi-day route through the Karatau range — landscapes you won’t find replicated anywhere else in Kazakhstan, including the sheer walls of Achisai Canyon and the local legends tied to Kelinshektau.
East Kazakhstan
A longer trip out to the southeastern Altai — a part of the country that looks nothing like the Almaty region: endless sunflower fields on the way in, then alpine meadows and lakes once you’re up in the mountains.
Karaganda Region
A green, blooming pocket in the middle of the steppe — mountain lakes tucked between granite cliffs, with enough of it only reachable on foot that this trip rewards actually getting out of the car.
