SULU SAI

Oy-Karagai gorge

Comfort in the heart of the Zailiysky Alatau

Oy-Karagai gorge, 40 km from Almaty. Open all year.

SULUSAI

Oy-Karagai gorge

Our season

Sulu Sai is open all twelve months, and each of them is its own. In winter — snow on the slopes, tubing and a hot steam room. In summer — meadows in flower, live evenings under the open sky and the pool warm in the sun. In autumn the gorge turns golden and so quiet you can hear the stream.
