Alma-Arasan Gorge




On the northern spur of the Trans–Ili Alatau at an altitude of 1780 m there is one of the most picturesque gorges in the vicinity of Almaty - Alma-Arasan. The river flows here. A passageway, which is why the gorge is sometimes called a Passageway. The gorge ends at the Almaty pass. The flora of the gorge is diverse and is represented by fir trees, shrubs and fragrant herbs.
Here, at an altitude of 1872 m. there is a wellness area with wooden pools filled with hot and cold thermal water ("arasan" from kaz.yaz. translates as "warm spring"). Its location is simply incredible – on the one hand, steep mountain slopes overgrown with century–old fir trees, and on the other - a stormy river stream. The Alma-Arasan wellness area is open all year round. After the reconstruction, the infrastructure became more convenient, comfortable stairs, bridges, gazebos and benches appeared. There are special rooms for changing clothes, a toilet, and a workout area. Just a 5-minute walk from this place there is a small beautiful waterfall "Maiden's tears". In winter, it is especially beautiful here, when the bluish-colored water contrasts with the snow-white cover and the greenery of the trees.
From almost any place in the gorge, a fascinating panorama opens onto the slopes of the Trans-Ili Alatau, wonderful spruce forests and a transparent river.
Alma-Arasan is a wonderful place for hiking, summer holidays with picnics, wellness programs and enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery.
