We were traveling from Almaty to Astana and did not regret at all that we made a small detour and stopped by to look at the Petroglyphs. It's really impressive, there are very few people. It turned out to be a wonderful walk. In order not to return to Almaty and not make a detour, we decided to go further along the road towards Kangshengel. We drove exactly 60 km to the highway. We drove for 2 hours, because the road is broken. But there is one place where the road was washed away, the asphalt was completely destroyed, a ditch formed and therefore everyone moves out and goes around this place. It's easy to do this in dry weather, but I think if it rained the day before, you can get stuck. But the option is working.
We visited this unusual place, the concentration of petroglyphs per square meter is amazing! The guides are very passionate about their work, they will tell, show and explain where to look, what is painted and in what century they were painted. Moreover, it does not matter if you came as part of a large excursion or if you are only a couple of people, you will be provided with a fascinating story.
A great place, I recommend it to everyone. It is very clean, the people who work are directly related to the research of petroglyphs. I recommend taking a guide, the road is good, there are bumps in places, in general, 120 km on a sedan is easy
