The family of creators advises to pay attention to the city of Tekeli, which is comfortably located in the foothills of the Dzungarian Alatau. Stretching along a 38-kilometer-long street, this city is often called "the second Switzerland" due to its picturesque natural landscapes. Tekeli is a real godsend for outdoor enthusiasts. Here you can go hiking and horseback riding in the mountains, ride ATVs or snowmobiles, test yourself in paragliding, and in winter enjoy skiing in ski resorts.
One of the main attractions of the region is the Burkhan-Bulak waterfall, the highest in Kazakhstan with an impressive height of 168 meters. On the way to this natural wonder, not far from the city, you can see the Tekeli stele, also known as the Buddhist Stone, which is considered a significant historical monument of the region.
