1 dayMediumEN · RU · KZ
Join a fixed-date hiking group to Big Almaty Lake and spend the day on one of the most iconic mountain routes near Almaty. This Join Me departure includes round-trip transport to the checkpoint, guide support, eco fees, and a full hiking day with free time at the lake.
This is a physical hiking format rather than a classic sightseeing bus tour. Travelers should expect a 6–7 km uphill trek, mountain conditions, and a pace that depends on the group and trail conditions.
