Last summer my family and I went on a journey to

the natural attractions of my home town. Almaty is still the major commercial and cultural centre of Kazakhstan, as well as its most populous and most cosmopolitan city. The city is located in the mountainous area of southern Kazakhstan near the border with Kyrgyzstan in the foothills of the Zailiysky Alatau.
I would like to tell you more about my journey...

We went there by bus. It took about 40 minutes to

get from the centre of the city to the lake. Every tourist should visit this place. Here we took a lot of good photos and just had a great time. However, due to the prohibition to have a picnic near natural sites, we were not able to have a picnic. 

Big Almaty Lake is an incredibly beautiful place. This is a real lagoon in the mountains. The view is fascinating.

By the way, one interesting fact about this place. The water

in the lake can change colour depending on the time of the year, for example, in the summer the colour can be bright blue, in the autumn it can be light green.

The nature of this place and the lake itself are fascinating. The air is filled with the aroma of rich green meadows. I was struck by the rich vegetation of this place and the calm turquoise waters of Lake Kaindy. The main attraction of the lake are the spruces, rising straight from the water. Near this lake are ancient caves with sheer cliffs.

The last natural attraction of our trip was Butakovsky Falls. Butakovsky

waterfall is one of the most beautiful places in Zailiysky Alatau. It is located in Butakovsky Gorge. The beauty of this waterfall is amazing. Despite the not very warm weather, I still decided to stand under the waterfall. It was very difficult to hold out there for more than ten seconds. The feeling is that you are pierced through and through by a million needles and so I very quickly ran out from under the waterfall. However, after a few minutes, I felt a surge of strength and vigour. This experience I will not forget for a long time.
