The Golden Man, mountain gorges, and the crisp air of the Trans-Ili Alatau. A full-day immersive experience blending ancient history and mountain energy.
A journey into the Saka/Scythian era. You will visit the site where the primary archaeological sensation of the country was discovered in 1970 — the intact royal tomb of a young Saka prince. Thousands of golden artifacts and sacred symbols of the ancient steppe that became the national symbol of Kazakhstan.
Enjoy a light trek through the coniferous forests of the Ile-Alatau National Park. We will hike to the Medvezhiy (Bear) Waterfall (30m), breathing in the purest mountain air and witnessing stunning alpine meadows.
The final chord of our journey — a turquoise lake surrounded by sheer cliffs. A perfect place for silence, contemplation, and panoramic photography against the backdrop of majestic mountain peaks.
A legendary guesthouse in Issyk known for its warm, home-like atmosphere. You can savor fresh local trout, succulent shashlik (kebabs), and genuine Kazakh hospitality.
Our program is flexible: upon request, we can substitute the museum with a visit to an ostrich farm or local eco-farms. We tailor the route to your interests.
