Issyk Lake & Turgen Waterfall — Group Tour
Spend a full day outside Almaty on a relaxed shared trip that combines three easy nature stops in one route: Turgen Waterfall, a local trout farm, and Issyk Lake. This Join Me departure is designed for travelers who want a simple fixed-date day trip with transport, guide support, and enough free time to walk, rest, and enjoy the scenery.
The route starts with the Turgen valley and a light hike to the waterfall, continues with a short stop at a trout farm where lunch is optional, and finishes with time around Issyk Lake for a picnic, photos, and lakeside rest before returning to the city in the evening.
