Nestled at the base of the Tien Shan mountains, it offers both urban and wilderness thrills packed into one unforgettable itinerary:

🪂 Paragliding over Almaty
Soar above the city on a tandem paragliding flight from popular launch sites like Kok-Tobe or Ush-Konyr. Experience panoramic views of the skyline, mountains, and cityscape at speeds reaching 50 km/h — all with certified instructors.

🚵 Mountain Biking & Off-Road Trails
Challenge yourself on rugged mountain bike routes — from forest trails around Medeu and Shymbulak to remote Zailiysky Alatau valleys. Off-roading and ATV tours add another layer of adrenaline with river crossings and rocky terrain.

🧗 Rock & Ice Climbing / Canyoning
Conquer vertical cliffs at Ak-Bulak Gorge, climb frozen waterfalls near Tuyuk-Su Glacier, or descend through narrow canyon tubes in guided canyoning adventures.

🌊 White-Water Rafting
Tackle the rapids of Chilik, Turgen, or Ili rivers, ranging from Class II–IV. Raft along wild mountain waters with experienced local guides.

🎯 Shooting Experiences
Test your skills at local shooting ranges offering bench firearm practice, including pistols and rifles with professional instructors.

  • Rope Jumping from 45 m — 3 seconds of free fall

  • Sky Walk, traversing the edge of a cliff

  • Zipline over 375 m at 23° incline up to 50 km/h
    Includes safety briefing, lunch, and transport.
