Small Almaty Gorge

Asphalt ribbon of highway meanders in a picturesque Gorge, nearest to the city. This is a zone of houses of relaxation, sanatoriums and private estates, this is why the road is fenced in. There are 2 restaurants on the way to Medeo. At Butakovka area (terminal stop of bus No 29) followers of Parfiri Ivanov gather and take cold bath in mountainous river. Further by road an ecological post stands, where a special fee for thoroughfare to Medeo and foothills is being taken. It is being taken from the private cars.
