The tour takes you right out into the Steppes. You feel the clear, clean air of the Steppes and the remoteness. The petroglyphs themselves are very accessible. Our guide Mallica, and driver were fantastic. They went out of their way to be helpful.
The guide Zaure and driver Nurtai were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. Zaure's fluency in English help me to learn about the petroglyphs and also about Kazakhstan history. The petroglyphs were exceptional in quantity and quality spanning the bronze, iron and subsequent periods. At the site there is also what's believed to be a Kurgan, as well as burial tombs from the Andronovo culture. I truly recommend this tour serviced by Kazia Tour.
