Kok-zhailau - Amazing Green Plateau With Waterfall

Day 1: Almaty, Kazakhstan to Kok-Zhaylyau, Almaty, Kazakhstan

Timeline of the tour to the Kok-Zhailau 08:00 – 08:45 Meeting point We will meet in the city center or near your hotel to get to the starting point together with a guide 08:45 – 11:00 Hike up The first trail sections may be a bit steep and difficult, but the further we go, the easier the path will be. 11:00 – 11:30 Stop for rest Approximately halfway to Kok-Zhailyau we make one big stop with a small snack in a pine forest, inhaling its coniferous aromas and admiring the landscapes that open up: the distant peaks of Komsomol, Karlytau, Abay 12:15 – 12:30 Kok-Zhailau plateau Finally, we have got to Kok-Zhailau! We will enjoy the beauty of the mountains and take incredible photos! The plateau offers a view of the city and the Kumbel peak. 12:30 – 14:00 Lunch We drink some tea and have a snack in a wonderful place! There is something to see on Kok-Zhailyau: the Battery waterfall and the heart-shaped swing 14:00 – 16:00 Back to the city There are several options for trails back from Kok-Zhailyau. Sometimes we organize hikes with a finish not to Prosveshchenets, but to Kamenskoye Plateau or Kazachka gorge. This route is longer, but in our opinion more interesting.
