Kazakhstan · TAMGALY PETROGLYPHS
Bronze-age carvings on dark rock, a UNESCO site since 2004, and rarely more than a handful of people on it. These 7 day trips run north-west of Almaty; some spell the gorge Tamgaly, and a couple pair it with the Tamgaly-Tas riverside Buddhas, which are a different place entirely.
Visit UNESCO-listed Tanbaly from Almaty, see Bronze Age rock art, and enjoy a private guided day trip with transport and water included.
