It took a couple of years to get to the military unit. And there are no Nomads all the way to the town. Off-road. There are few signs indicating the way, you can drive into the gorge in the wrong place.
And the castle structure itself is in disrepair. I do not recommend going up to the upper floors. It's beautiful, the river is marble-colored👍 The castle is beautiful but requires major repairs.
There is no service for vacationers.
An amazing place! It is a must to visit! It would be more interesting if there was a guide. Tell us how it was built, for which film, who played the actors and, of course, the history of the country
I went on May 31, as part of the cast of extras for the film "Abylai Khan", it was very hot, the wind picked up in the evening and it became quite cool.
1) this is not an attraction, but rather a decoration made of sand and sticks! Some of the decorations are flimsy and are already breaking down.
2) the culture of people leaves much to be desired, in many places I noticed cigarette butts and garbage were thrown into a nearby house.
3) the river is wide-water, cold but not icy.
4) the guard is a bit rude, but he didn't spoil the impression.
5) The road is not very good either, so draw conclusions.
