8 a.m. The adventure starts from a hotel in Almaty or from the airport. After meeting the guide, we hit the road in a comfortable SUV. On the way, we make several stops to try the Kazakh cheese Kurt and take pictures of the surroundings.

12 p.m. The first destination is Basshi village; the road takes about 4 hours. There we check into a hotel and have lunch.

1 p.m. We go to the bottom of the ancient ocean, from which the Chalk Mountains of Aktau rose millions of years ago. The road takes about 1.5 hours on the off-road. In the mountains, the guide offers you to explore the area with several routes of varying difficulty and tell the story of the mountains.

5 p.m. After a walk, we have a cup of hot tea and go to the volcanic mountains of Katutau. Unusual cliffs created by wind, sun and water will be a great place for a photo shoot. Heading to the hotel, we stop at the 700-year-old Willow and try water from a mineral spring. 7 p.m. Dinner at the hotel.
