Rise above the city and find yourself closer to the stars

Perched at 3,163 meters on Talgar Pass, this authentic yurt camp offers a rare chance to immerse yourself in the traditions of the nomadic lifestyle. The yurts, decorated in Kazakh style, invite you to rest on warm floors with colorful «korpe» quilts and hand-stitched pillows. Here, life feels simple and genuine: guests share meals, exchange stories, and enjoy the crisp mountain air.

The camp’s centerpiece is a yurt-restaurant where national dishes are prepared over open fire, filling the space with the aroma of home-cooked food. In the evenings, you may be treated to a spontaneous performance of Kazakh music on the dombra. This is not just accommodation — it’s an introduction to the warmth and hospitality of Kazakh culture.

Hidden deep in a wild gorge of the Ketmen Range, this cozy log cabin is a retreat for backcountry lovers in winter, and for horse riders, and explorers in the warmer months. With its rustic atmosphere, it offers a rare sense of seclusion and simplicity far away from civilization. Inside, the hut is warm and practical: two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen with all the basics. 

A wood-and-coal stove keeps the house heated, while water comes from a nearby spring. Life here flows at a slower pace — boiling water for washing, cooking together, and gathering in the living room after a long day in the mountains. Next to the cabin there is a traditional sauna, the perfect place to relax, share tea, and exchange stories.

Unassuming from the outside but warm and welcoming within, this Soviet-era trailer sits at nearly 3,400 meters on the moraine of the Tuyuk-Su glacier. Surrounded by glaciers and rocky peaks, it has become a legendary shelter for climbers, skiers, and mountaineers seeking raw alpine adventure.

Originally built as temporary housing for Soviet workers, these trailers were designed to provide simple yet functional living conditions. Today, this one serves as a mountain refuge: two separate sections inside offer bunk beds for rest, and a small kitchen and dining space for shared meals. Nights here are unforgettable — listening to the wind in the high mountains while being safe and warm inside a piece of history.

Tucked at the high-alpine saddle of Besmoinak Pass in the Kurmety Gorge, this mountain hut offers a rare refuge amid the famed “Pearls of the Northern Tian Shan” — the Kolsai Lakes. Located along the horseback or trekking route between Kurmety village and the middle Kolsai Lake, the hut invites travelers to pause, acclimatize, and absorb the wilderness of soaring ridges, untouched forests, and clear mountain skies.

Guests here experience the elemental side of trekking: the hush of pines, the taste of simple meals savored after a day’s ride or hike. It’s a place where the journey becomes part of the story, and each breath connects you closer to the land.

A cozy and charming mountain hut above 3000 meters, offering simple comfort and warm shelter high in the alpine. From the outside, it might seem plain and unremarkable — but step inside, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The space is thoughtfully arranged with everything you need for a restful stay after a big day in the mountains.

There’s a kitchen corner with a gas stove and all the essentials to cook your favorite trail meals. A large dining area welcomes you with a solid wooden table and benches — perfect for shared dinners and late-night tea sessions.

The house has four bedrooms and sleeps up to 8 people. There’s a bathroom with a sink, proper drainage, and hot & cold running water straight from the tap. The toilet is outside, tucked away in a peaceful corner — just the place to enjoy a quiet moment of reflection.
