Escape to Koklaisay Almaty
Hike, Camp & BBQ
Looking for a laid-back weekend in the mountains without driving too far from Almaty? Koklaisay is your go-to spot. Just a short drive from the city, this beautiful valley offers everything you need for a perfect day (or night) in nature — hiking trails, open fields, riverside spots, and plenty of fresh air.
Koklaisay is loved by locals for its easy hiking routes that wind through pine forests and grassy meadows. Whether you’re a beginner or just want a chill walk with great views, this place won’t disappoint. In spring and summer, the area bursts into green, with wildflowers and the sound of flowing streams all around.
Planning a BBQ or picnic? You’re in luck. There are lots of open spaces to set up a grill or lay out a blanket and just enjoy the peaceful vibe. Families, couples, and friend groups all come here to relax, cook, and laugh the afternoon away.
For those who want to stay longer, camping is totally doable. Bring your tent, some warm clothes, and enjoy a night under the stars. The cool mountain air and quiet surroundings make it feel like a world away from city life.
Koklaisay is one of those hidden gems that doesn’t need much planning — just gather your people, pack your gear, and go. You’ll come back with sun on your face, smoke on your clothes, and stories worth telling. Caution: it is under development and a bit wild. The Water Dam is under construction at the moment (2025).
