Itinerary
- 1Your tour begins with a visit to Tamgaly Tas, an open-air Buddhist sanctuary on the Ili River. Here you can climb over the rocks and find images of the Buddha. The place with cave paintings is very picturesque and will not leave anyone indifferent. You can enjoy the panorama of the Ili River and see on the other side of the river the “city of nomads”, built for the filming of the film “Nomads”. On the way, you will stop at the Kapchagai reservoir and drive through “Kazakh Las Vegas”. Road length: 250 km
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 882oscarm0 contributionsInteresting but poorly conserved siteAlthough it was a long drive, the petroglyphs were interesting. The area is not properly conserved or protected and there were few interpretative signs. The driver was nice and offered snacks made by his wife as there is nothing nearby to buy anything. The bathroom was a hole in a shed. I expected more from a UNESCO site and believe the tour was substantially overpriced.Written June 22, 2024
- Harry S0 contributionsBeevis and Butthead Petroglyph TourThe Petroglyphs were wonderful, it not sure they were with the $200 plus price. The guide’s English was not particularly good. (He thought “convenient” meant “difficult.”). Subsequently, he didn’t translate any of the local guide’s commentary about the petroglyphs. Neither did the guide own a car. He dragooned a taxi driver friend into driving us out there. He was supposed to provide water, but only looked for a store to buy some when I requested he do so. This is not a very professional company, but may be the cheapest way to get to the petroglyphs unless you rent a car yourself.Written September 6, 2023
