Since March 2020, private vehicles are no longer allowed to access Big Almaty Lake, and currently, tourists can only reach it on foot. However, we have a way to drive our guests directly to the lake, though this method is unofficial and doesn’t always work — so sometimes the tour may need to be canceled.
Big Almaty lake is the city’s top natural landmark. The turquoise lake, set at 2,500 meters in the majestic Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, was formed by an earthquake and has become a symbol of Almaty. Its breathtaking beauty will leave a lasting impression.
