Assy is a high-mountain plateau located approximately 75 kilometers from the city of Almaty, within the Ile-Alatau National Park. The plateau is a valley of subalpine meadows and begins at the Kishi Turgen River, stretching for 60 kilometers. The height of the plateau ranges from 2800 to 3200 meters above sea level. The main feature of this natural location is the Assy-Turgen Astrophysical Observatory (2750 meters), which was built in 1975. The observatory was constructed here due to the ideal astroclimate and lack of light pollution.
-
Issyk Issyk is a lake in the Issyk Gorge of the Zailiysky Alatau, located approximately 40 km east of Almaty, in the southwest of the Enbekshikazakh District of the Almaty Region of Kazakhstan. It was formed about 8-10 thousand years ago as a result of a mountain landslide, which created a natural dam about 300 meters high
