Issyk Lake and Assy Plateau
Issyk Lake, nestled among majestic mountains, is famous for its stunning turquoise waters that can change shades several times a day. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing picnic by the lake or stop at a nearby trout farm, where you can try fishing and taste the freshly caught fish.
Assy Plateau – Steppe Above the Clouds
Just 3 hours from Almaty, Assy Plateau rises over 2,500 meters, offering endless meadows, wildflowers, and sweeping mountain views. In summer, nomads bring their herds here, yurts dot the landscape, and rivers sparkle under the sun. Home to the Assy-Turgen Observatory, it’s perfect for hiking, horseback riding, and soaking in the pure mountain air. Off-road adventure.
