The world's famous high-altitude skating rink Medeu located at 1691 meters in the Malaya Almatinka river valley, is bordered by mountain ridges: Kimasarki on the west, Kabyrgatau on the east, and Kumbel on the south-east. One of the attractions is a dike built in the valley of the Malaya Almatinka river to protect the city from landslides.
Day tour to Charyn Canyon
It is popularly said that the Charyn Canyon is a smaller version of the famous Grand Colorado Canyon in America but really it has a unique charm all of its own. The Charyn river cuts through Carboniferous sedimentation and intrusive rocks which form the Kuluktau mountains and form the Charyn's valley. This picturesque area has a very diverse relief. The steep canyon slopes, and columns rise to heights of 150 to 300 meters. Numerous ravines form a dense and disorderly one called "badlands". On its slopes are found fossilized remnants of fauna from the Lower Carboniferous period.



Day tour to Camel Farm
About 150 km from Almaty is a camel farm. At the farm about 250 Bakhtrian camels are raised. This tour must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.
The trip goes to Kapchigai lake and then on small roads to the farm. You have an excellent chance to see the herd in its natural surrounding. The tour includes a typical Kazakh lunch in the rather primitive house of the farmer. The main course is a lamb, raised on special herbs with a distinct flavour.
