20KM HIKE with REWARDING views 😍

#mountainhike Ready for a strenuous hike and adventure? Want to make it a day and head back to a big city after you’re done a hike? Look no further than Ile-Alatau NP! Ile-Alatau National Park is a fantastic spot for nature lovers just outside Almaty, Kazakhstan! This stunning park is home to amazing mountains, Big and green forests, and beautiful rivers. It’s the ULTIMATE place for hiking and exploring! You can see INCREDIBLE wildlife, like eagles (if you are lucky) and sheep, while enjoying the fresh mountain air. One of the park's highlights is Big Almaty Lake, with its bright blue water surrounded by majestic peaks. The trail to the lake is NO JOKE. Very steep, and one part you need to hold onto a water pipe to get yourself up! However, the views are breathtaking! Personally, visiting Ile-Alatau National Park is a great way to escape the city.
