Yandex maps laid out a route, after which the car got stuck, we had to order an evacuation for 90 thousand tenge. In general, the point was wrong. I didn't make it out at night and got in over my ears.
When you arrive there, you hear a very loud incomprehensible sound, I was told that these are crickets and grasshoppers... BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT THEY WERE snakes... and huge phalanx spiders... There are a lot of them there! Burrows literally every meter. There were clouds of midges near the water, after lunch there were midges everywhere... There are 3-4 rock carvings there, so it's better to go without high expectations 😆 Oh yes, the big image that everyone calls "Buddha" is SHIVA!!! And here on the sides of it are two small images of the Buddha. The drawings are not very similar to the ancient ones, and Shiva and Buddha in one image are generally strange... It is fashionable to say "place of power" now... My impressions are Steppe, rocks, rattlesnakes, venomous palm-sized spiders and midges that get into my eyes/nose/mouth. Perhaps we should go in early spring before the spiders and snakes come out. A river Or a beautiful one, that's the only thing I liked. We got there without any problems in an SUV, we saw both cars and buses, everyone passed, no one got stuck. There is no fixed price for entry, everyone is charged differently, as I understand it... THERE IS A LOT OF GARBAGE!
