Description of the tour
Karin’s gorge – untouched beauty of Dzhungar Alatau. This local beauty cannot be described in words. Not many things can compare to feelings when for the first time you get to see the giant waterfall. According to one local legend, there was a mother who had a son. She treated him like a treasure. She also wanted him to have a peaceful wife, but young Burkhan fell in love with a daring and freedom loving Kora. Everything was aright till his mother did not find out about it, but eventually when she noticed that they are together. She forbade him to see Kora and made a big castle where she locked him up as a punishment. However, the boy’s love was so strong that he managed to escape and unite with Kora. Many years had passed since those days but young couple is still together, and only one little river flows next to the waterfall its name is «Mother’s tears». That is the legend of this interesting place.
Burkhan-Bulak is the biggest waterfall in Kazakhstan, an altitude of four cascades is 168 meters. An adventure to this beautiful place will leave you speechless. It is almost like steam from a geyser, hissing and going down as an unstoppable stream of energy of cold water. In a fearless jump water goes into a gorge’s bottom, crushing everything in its way, but after each obstacle the stream of water calms down. A valley between the river and rocks is covered by a forest. Walking inside this forest is a pleasure for your mind.
Have a nice day and good weather!
