About Wild Walk

Small-group outdoor trips around Almaty, guided by local knowledge and respect for the mountains.

Wild Walk is a local outdoor project based in Almaty. We create guided trekking and horse riding programs for travelers who want to see the mountains, valleys and wild landscapes around the city in a simple, personal way.

Our trips are route-focused: one-day treks to glaciers and waterfalls, horse riding routes through mountain scenery and custom outdoor programs across Kazakhstan.

    We keep the experience personal and calm.
  • Local
    knowledge
    Routes are planned with real terrain, season and weather in mind.
  • Clear communication
    You know what to expect before the trip starts.
  • Respect
    for the mountains
    Safety, pace and conditions always come first.

Our approach

Every trip is planned around real conditions, not a fixed script. We look at the season, weather, trail conditions and the pace of the group before deciding how the day should unfold. Sometimes that means starting earlier, changing the route, spending more time in one place or turning back when the mountains ask for it.
We keep our programs small so the day can stay personal and flexible. The goal is not to rush through a checklist, but to move at the right pace, notice the landscape and return with a good feeling of the place.
