Discover three of Kazakhstan's most diverse natural landscapes in one unforgettable day from Almaty — all in the comfort of a 4x4 Jeep.
Start at the vast Assy Plateau — a sweeping highland steppe at 2,700 meters, where nomads have roamed for centuries and the sky stretches endlessly in every direction.
Continue to the thundering Bear Waterfall (Turgen), one of the most powerful waterfalls in the Tian-Shan mountains, hidden deep in a lush canyon gorge. A short walk through pine forest leads you straight to the cascade.
Finish at the stunning Lake Issyk — a turquoise mountain lake surrounded by snow-capped peaks, formed thousands of years ago by a massive landslide.
A lunch stop is included — time to try local Kazakh cuisine at a traditional restaurant near the lake.
Private Tour: Same three landscapes for your group only — flexible pace, personal guide, no strangers.
English-speaking guide. Hotel pickup from 7 AM. 4x4 Jeep transport. All entrance fees included. Maximum 9 people.

Plateau Assy
Assy Plateau is a vast highland valley near Almaty, known for its wide green meadows, nomadic landscapes, and breathtaking mountain views. Located at an altitude of about 2,500 meters, it is a perfect place for nature lovers, horseback riding, and stargazing thanks to its famous astronomical observatory.
Turgen Waterfalls
We will do trekking to the waterfall around 2 km hiking that is at 1521 meters elevation. Bear Waterfall is easily accessible and beautiful in the Turgen Gorge, and is one of the most visited places by tourists and lovers of mountain trails. The waterfall is named “Bear” because brown bears were found in the Turgen Gorge back in the 1960s[

An amazing trip to Assy Plateau and Lake Issyk with Didi
Peter H,4 thg 6, 2026

5.00We had a wonderful experience on our guided trip to the extraordinary Assy Plateau with our guide, Didi. The journey takes you far away from modern civilization, and although the road is quite bumpy and rocky, all the effort is completely worth it the moment you reach the plateau and see the spectacular views. We also visited Tungsten waterfall and Lake Issyk, which provided a completely different vibe and truly showcased the incredible variety of landscapes that Almaty has to offer. Throughout the entire trip, Didi was incredibly friendly and attentive, proactively taking fantastic photos for us and ensuring we had enough tea and toilet breaks. What I admired most, however, was seeing her pick up litter left behind by others in the countryside—an act of genuine care for the environment that went well beyond her duty as a guide and made us appreciate her not just as a professional, but as a wonderful person
A wonderful adventure with people who feel like family

5.00Really good value for money. Zangar took us to a waterfall in the hills with a good 20 min walk to the waterfall. Next we went to the lake in the mountains which also had a 20 min walk but there was the option to use a buggy to drive there. Finally we went to the museum where we learnt about the golden man. In total we probably drive for 2-3 hours
We had a great time and the planning was amazing!

5.00I had the pleasure of experiencing a tour with Kassym, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences I've had. Kassym is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the local history, culture, and landmarks, but he also brings a warm, friendly energy that makes you feel truly welcomed and at ease.
