Dear students and teachers,

The Kazakhstan History Centre and Rukhani Zhangyru are proud to invite you to the annual historical excursion: the tour of Ulytau – the cradle of the Kazakh Khanate.

Medieval Ulytau was the centre of political and cultural life of Sara Arka. To this day, it holds the magic of great history. It is impossible to remain indifferent to the monuments of antiquity and the Middle Ages – the witnesses of our people’s great history.

Students will visit the mausoleums of Alash Khan, Zhoshi Khan, and the ancient city of Beskamyr; see the petroglyphs of the Bronze Age at Terekty-Aulie, and many other interesting things. Here, each stone, mountain, and river is associated with the names of historical and legendary figures.

The tour is part of the “Tougan zher” programme.
