Valley of the Talgar River - information for tourists.
Talgar region and the Talgar valley itself is the most picturesque place in the Almaty region. Part of the territory is located on the territory of the Ile-Alatau natural reserve within the Zailiysky Alatau mountain range. At the foot of Talgar Peak there is a base alpinist camp Talgar (Burevestnik sports community) from which ascents are made. The Talgar Valley consists of three parts, Left Talgar, Right Talgar and Middle Talgar. In all parts there are hiking mountain routes with ascents to the peaks, and simply mountain trips to the upper reaches of the Talgar River. We recommend traveling around the region in the summer, July, August, there are also routes for winter ascents.
