Itinerary
- Lake Issyk: The Issyk is a picturesque lake located at the height of 1760 meters in the Issyk gorge of Trans-Ili Alatau, around 70 km east of Almaty among beautiful and thick forests along with vast flower fields. The Lake was formed due to a massive rock avalanche some 8000 years ago, which in turn resulted in a 300m high dam. In 1939, development along the lake was heightened only to be destroyed in 1963 by a glacial mudflow.
