Full day programRequest offer free of engagementBook this trip

On this trip you will most of the time use a comfortable guesthouse in the Altai village of Uryl as a starting point for activities and excursions in the surroundings.
There's a lot to enjoy in this part of Kazakhstan. From hiking, rafting and horseriding to excursions to an excavation site and a traditional religious Russian village. Have a look at the dayprogram for all the details.
You may choose to stay longer or shorter in Uryl and we'll adapt the program.
