Almaty Hiking tour to Tourist peak

Duration

3 to 5 hours

Overview

You will have a great short trip to this archaeological and cultural heritage of Kyrgyzstan with beautiful sight from the top of the tower and climb to the top of the tower by a steep, spiralling staircase and enjoy an amazing view of mountains and countryside. Also near the tower, you can see a small collection of stone idols or balbals in Kyrgyz and petroglyphs scattered around the ground, which were collected from the ancient Turkic burial grounds of the Chui valley, Issyk-Kul region and the Tien Shan. These sculptures are monuments with carefully crafted features of the face, headgear, jewellery, hairstyles, weapons. It is an exceptionally interesting experience to wander between these carved faces. There is a museum nearby of the Burana tower, it is small but special, so it is worth to visit it to know more about history.
