Meet your guide and driver at your hotel lobby in Almaty to begin the drive to Tamgaly Petroglyphs in Tamgaly Gorge (170km, 3hrs). Allow your spirit to be refreshed on the drive by the remarkable steppe scenery, standing in stark contrast to crowded Almaty.
Upon arrival to this open-air museum you’ll have the chance to roam about the valley and marvel at the endless petroglyphs before you. The rock carvings are divided into several labeled sections, and your guide will provide further insights into the drawings depicting animals, chariots, dancing, hunting and various religious symbols. Stand amazed at their sheer volume, size and distinct features that can be easily discerned by the untrained eye.
Stop for a picnic lunch in this vast outdoor gallery, enjoying a rest in the fresh air before returning to the city.
