We didn’t make it to the... - We didn’t make it to the Aktau mountains due to weather conditions but thank you for the drivers and tour guide Aya for bringing us back safely! Will definitely join this tour again if I visit Almaty again next time.

Like another planet - Very cool and interesting trip! I would recommend it! I was there with a friend and we met a lot of cool people there. The place we visited was very exiting, I felt like I was on another planet. I would love to see this place again!

Amazing experience - Me and my family went to visit Altyn Emel national park. It was amazing experience and we have made tons of pics and videos. Aigerim is exceptional guide, we learnt lots of things about the place and culture. Be prepared for a long trip to the National park, and take more snacks and drinks with you.
