The one-day journey begins at Big Almaty Lake — a picturesque high-mountain reservoir located just 15 kilometers from the city. Its waters amaze with rich turquoise hues, and the surrounding mountain slopes create an atmosphere of solitude and tranquility.
Next, the route leads to Ayusai Waterfalls. Amid rocky ledges and lush greenery, the rushing water cascades down, filling the area with coolness and freshness. This place invigorates after the calm of the lake, letting you feel the power and energy of nature.
