Around Almaty a great number of hikes and trekkings is possible into the Northern Tien Shan Mountains, with peaks up to 5,000 meter. With professional guides you may hike for a day, or do a 10-day trekking, and anything between. Examples of destinations are the Tuyuk-Su glacier, the Bogdanovic glacier, the Left Talgar valley and several short trekkings from tent-basecamp in the Talgar valley.
