It's a harder walk them it looks. We started at 11 am, didn't make it back until 730 pm, and didn't finish. Next time!
A clear and simple route. Mind-blowing views. Some difficulties may be altitude, wind and snow, if you go in winter.
Plenty of snow to trail through, kept loosing one team member after the other (( Upon reaching Kaskabas mountain, the last attendee who was standing next to me decided to give up as well. Shame though, as we were just a ...

Two day visit to Altyn Emel National Park north of Kapshagay Lake starting from and retuning to Almaty.
A snow storm started a night before and continued throughout early morning has almost made us to turn back. Yet the weather surprisingly decided to grace upon us.
Went to Ildar to check my bike, haven’t done MOT since I have brought it. Nice chap, very knowledgeable and resourceful. Former racer.
Nice ride with Ben, started of early. Was a bit chilly, given time of the year. Need to repeat the ride again.
Overall a moderate route, but be prepared to endure high elevation on the last 500 meters; it’s tough.
