The Tekes waterfall is hidden in the mountains of Terskey Alatau. Over the past year, it has become one of the most popular locations among travelers in the Almaty region.
He attracts them with his virgin wildness and cinematic landscape. The road to the waterfall is incredibly picturesque and gives several large-scale mountain views at once.

The Tekes River originates in the Terskey Alatau mountains, and in China it connects with the Kunges River, which in a duet form the main artery of Semirechie - the Ili River.
Moon Canyon
Anticipating your question about what does the moon have to do with it? Let us answer that both locations (the moon and the canyon of the same name in Kazakhstan) are indeed connected by a similar landscape and the name was invented by the people where cinema
about space is very popular. We are waiting for something filmed about aliens here.

The canyon is also called “Yellow” because of the color of the rocks and “Valley of Yurts” because the shapes of the canyon, honed by the wind, are painfully reminiscent of them.

In a word, you will have a lot of impressions from this location, just like all the tourists who have been here.
