Experience the top attractions of the Almaty region in a single tour. Often, these sites are visited separately, but combining them in one journey allows visitors to maximize their time, discover more locations along their path, and embody the true spirit of a nomad. We’ve dubbed this circuit the ‘Golden Ring’ due to the serpentine route that brings us back to the city, offering an array of splendid sights along the way.
