One-day tours and excursions in Borovoe -
Among the picturesque expanses of Borovoe, in the heart of the majestic forest and at the foot of the mountains in Burabay National Park, there is a special, truly sacred land - the Ablai Khan Glade. This is not just a beautiful location or a tourist spot, but a place with deep historical and spiritual significance, where you want to return again and again. The glade is surrounded by a coniferous forest, saturated with the aroma of pine and the purest mountain air. It is easy to breathe here, and the head seems to be cleared of everyday fuss. Above the glade rises a granite peak - Mount Kokshetau, which is also called the "Sleeping Giant". Legend has it that great batyrs (Kazakh heroes), warriors and ancestors of the Kazakh people once gathered in these parts to solve fateful issues. And it was here that the great Abylai Khan, one of the most respected rulers in the history of Kazakhstan, raised the banner of his people. Near the clearing is the famous lake Auliekol (Borovoe), and in the park there is also the sacred cave of Kenesary Khan.

Information -
An obelisk symbolizing the actions of Abylai Khan in his cause of uniting people in the fight against the Dzungars was installed on the Abylay Khan glade. The obelisk was built in 1991 in honor of the 280th anniversary of Abylai Khan. The surrounding terrain contributed well to protection from enemies, natural stone formations, which can still be seen here, were used as natural barriers to protect against enemies. Also, on the glade there is a memorial stone with the imprint of "tanbasy" - the ancestral brand of the Kazakh tribes who gathered under the banners of Abylai. This place attracts not only tourists, but also those who seek strength, inspiration and unity with the roots of their people. They say that if you stand here in silence, you will feel the energy of the earth and the voice of your ancestors.
Ablai Khan (real name Abilmansur) was the 18th Khan of the Kazakh Khanate, ruling from 1771 to 1781. One of the greatest Khans in the history of the Kazakh Horde.
