moreComment on 2 days tour to Altyn Emel
Our guide was Mihail and he was an excellent guide. He was safe, patient, knowledgeable, and respectful. The SUV was clean and had a lot of extra safety gear. The guest house was nice and the food was delicious. Of course the nature was stunning and Mihail made an effort to get us the best views. He even set out to find us horses to ride when it appeared that it wouldn’t be possible to get horses. We would definitely book a tour with Mihail again.

May 27. Tour to the singing barchan
To leave the city had at 6 am. Since the excursion was a day, and had to catch it. The tourists had cut the road, after 3 hours we were in the village of Basshi, where we expected a little brunch. Another hour on a dirt road and we are near of the dune. To be the pioneers is always interesting, because on this day we were the first who saw him. The lack of footprints in the sand clearly talked about it. The ascent took about 40 min.
June 15. Tour on the assy plateau
The weather was very lucky, it was cloudy, a few kilometers away from the lake Kolsai obviously rained. Rising to observatories were arranged in a memorable photo shoot. Clouds flowing over us and through us. A lot of unforgettable impressions of each participant of the tour. At the end of the road we descended down to the village Nerd. The plans were the ascent to the Kayraksky waterfall. In the end, after visiting the waterfall was still time to explore the famous Chinturgensky mossy spruce forests. All members of the city remained in full delight. I’ll see you around.
