Description
A one-day trip to the Karatau mountains, which are located just 70 km from Shymkent.
From the start of the tour you will go to one of the most mysterious places of Southern Kazakhstan - Aq-Meshit cave, which in translation means White Mosque. This is a huge underground cave 254 meters long, 25 meters high and 65 meters wide. A unique natural object not only in terms of size but also due to the fact that at the top there are no trees within a radius of many kilometers and a real oasis is located in the cave.
Further on this tour, you will see a giant table mountain, bronze age petroglyphs, paleolethic cave, and narrow canyon with a waterfall that you will pass right through the water.
In addition, you will enjoy a picnic in the open air.
