Ak-Kayin birch grove

Overview

Detailed Description

The Ak-Kayin birch grove is a picturesque spot located near Almaty, in the foothills of the Zailiyskiy Alatau mountains. The name “Ak-Kayin” translates from Kazakh as “white birch,” perfectly reflecting the atmosphere of this small but cozy grove. Unlike the typical coniferous forests of the region, this area has a unique charm thanks to the white tree trunks, soft light, and peaceful, calming surroundings.

This place is especially popular in the spring and summer months, when fresh greenery contrasts beautifully with the white bark of the birch trees. The grove is ideal for light walks, picnics, and photo sessions. It’s easily accessible by car or with a guided tour, making it a great destination for family outings or for those seeking tranquility and solitude close to the city.
