Assy Plateau, Issyk lake and Bear (Turgen) Waterfall jeep tour

About this activity

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.
