Route №2 of the Alatau Amanaty network, waymarked yellow-and-white: from Kaindy over a 2,600 m pass to the lower Kolsai lake. We measure 17.9 km with 1,630 m of ascent and 1,680 m of descent — OpenStreetMap's own tags say 19 km, 1,714 and 1,679 m. A long day, and not a loop: you finish somewhere else, so arrange the car in advance. The people who mapped it wrote the grade themselves: "medium difficulty, for walkers with one or two days of mountain experience, a guide is advisable".
