Mysterious Tamgaly Tas petroglyphs experience full-day private tour from Almaty
Tamgaly tas is a very rare monument. It is a sacred Buddhist temple that was used for prayer and meditation. The Tamgaly tas tract is located 114 kilometers north of Almaty city. Unique rock paintings found here can be called without exaggeration the real property of the art gallery of antiquity. Deifying the forces of nature, ancient tribes carved drawings on the stones, which was supposed to bring good luck on the hunt. This is how the Tamgaly mountain sanctuary appeared, decorated with thousands of rocky petroglyphs.
