Koksay - information for tourists.
The gorge is very popular with tourists from abroad. It is possible to take a horse ride along the gorge. In the village of Zhabagly, which is located in the reserve, you can stay in guest houses and small hotels. To travel around this region, you will need at least 3 days, since the distance, for example, from Almaty to the reserve is more than 500 kilometers, so it will take us only one day to travel to the reserve itself. Therefore, plan your trip very carefully in order to have time to see everything.
