PART ONE: THE MOUNTAINS | Часть Первая: Горы

Known as the birthplace of the Turkic peoples (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkic_people), The Altai region (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altay_Mountains)in the Central Asian part of Russia and Eastern Kazakhstan attracts a diverse crowd. For both foreign and home-grown travellers, it is a destination off the beaten track, full of natural beauty. For others, it is a place to settle and find peace of mind. Yet others travel there to find their ancestral roots and learn spiritual enlightenment.

Да, красивое место, захватывающий вид на горы. Если в Казахстане есть два стоящих живописных места, то это будут Заилийский Алатау и Алтайские Горы.

А как же Баянаул, Боровое, Тулькубас? Продолжать?
Из равнинных красот я бы определил Кустанайщину, где на днях побывал! Красота необыкновенная!

Курорт Боровое - это только маленькая часть, самая известная. Кроме него есть Зеренда, Айыртау, Шалкар.

Баянаул маловат. Но рядом есть Каркаралы - это вообще уникальная местность.
