Day 1 |
Dzhungarsky Alatau is a mountain range in the eastern part of the Almaty region. Nature here has not yet been touched by civilization: the huge mountain rivers are clean, the air is crystal, wild animals are not shy and take pictures with pleasure. There is a special, mild microclimate, due to which the jailauas remain green until late autumn, and the herbs delight in any season. |
Day 2 |
Today we have a trip to the country of nomads and mountain dzhailyau. We will climb a green gorge, bypassing the forest zone to the level of alpine meadows. Here, at the top of the mountain plateau, we will enjoy the majestic views of the Dzhungarskiy (Semirechenskiy Alatau). There is also a memorial complex to Kazakh soldiers who died in the wars with the Dzungars. This is not just a city monument, but a real ancient burial place of those who fought for these lands several centuries ago. |
Day 3 |
On this day we have to move to the valley of the Usek river. Having descended into civilization for a short time (we will pass through the village), we will again find ourselves far from people. Having reached the very confluence of the Bolshoi and Maly Usek rivers along a dirt road, we will find ourselves in a sacred place where ancient history is intertwined with modernity. Here, right from the slope of the mount separating the two rivers, healing springs flow. People from all over the region come here in search of healing diseases. Only natural springs - there are no buildings or restrictions for those wishing to taste medicinal mud. |
Day 4 |
Today we will complete the tour of Southern Dzungaria, descending from the mountains and visiting the famous mosque-pagoda in Zharkent. The hook is small, but the famous mosque and the wonderful town of Zharkent will not leave anyone indifferent. |
