Sea in Kapchagay – Kazakhstan
Kapshagay (another name of the city) is focused on active recreation. And first of all, it is a marine recreation. Vacationers can play beach basketball or paintball, get acquainted with the underwater world or engage in water sports.
But especially popular is fishing near the reservoir. Great fishing spots, fishing rods, boats and tackle rental, a wide variety of fish – from white amur to catfish, from bream to carp.
Kapchagai Mountains
Tourists, indifferent to the sea games, will not be bored in Kapchagai either. The city has all possibilities for active conquest of mountain peaks. Tamgaly-Tas cliffs are a great chance to master such a hobby as rock climbing.
The rocks are of interest not only to climbers but also to connoisseurs of ancient mysteries. On Tamgaly Tas you can see images of animals, people, sun-headed deities and Buddha.
About the origin of the drawings the Kazakhs have separate legends. Some believe they were carved by Buddhist monks in the tenth century. While traveling in these areas, they were victims of the earthquake: a piece of rock broke off, and the monks thought it was a sign to immortalize the face of Buddha. Others believe that the Great Silk Road passed nearby, and the drawing belongs to the Dzungars. And others believe that it’s all about the aliens: if you lean against the rock, you can take all the cosmic energy.
