Description

Tanbaly museum-reserve complex is one of the most impressive historical sites in Kazakhstan. A great example of Bronze and Iron Age art, documented on the rocky hills of Chu-Ile mountains. It has a massive scientific and cultural value not only for Kazakhstan, but worldwide. Great size of the complex, number of petroglyphs (over 5000), technique which was used to create them and a geographical position make it a special place. Part of the road goes through the real kazakh steppes, vast flatlands with mountain background, amazing views, traditional lifestyle and some animals to see on the way. The walk inside the Tanbaly is not difficult and suitable for people with moderate fitness level. There is around 2 km walk and some hike between the petroglyphs.

Deeper dive!

I had a great time with the tour. It is rather a simple round trip, but I think that's actually what makes this tour so fruitful. Nursultan's experience and knowledge are very vast. It will definitely take you to the complex and beautiful history of this country. I'd definitely recommend you to join! ありがとう。
