Last month I visited the suburb of Astana which is home to a national park filled with numerous lakes, mountains and beautiful forests. We stayed at a boutique hotel that featured a swimming pool and cozy outdoor area. The hotel was a lovely place to relax and it offered breakfast and dining options. We spent nearly two days enjoying our stay and in the afternoon we went out. My main goal was to climb a mountain because I had heard about a new viewpoint in the area. The peak is a mountain called Oshet Pes and nearby is a smaller mountain that is easily accessible for beginners. This smallest peak named Volek Tau was our destination. I discovered that there is now a well-defined trail for climbing. This path is perfect for beginners Because when I attempt to climb this mountain nearly 5 years ago, there was no proper path or ladder. However, it has since been improved, making it more suitable for older individuals as well. The climb was certainly exhausting, but the effort was worthwhile. Once we reached the top, We were greeted with a breath taking view of two small lakes and two mountains, along with historical sites that many visitors use as backdrops for photos and videos.

The peak is a mountain called Oshet Pes, and nearby is a smaller mountain that is easily accessible for beginners. This smaller peak, named Volek Tau, was our destination. I discovered that there is now a well-defined trail for climbing. This path is perfect for beginners because when I attempted to climb this mountain nearly five years ago, there was no proper path or ladder. However, it has since been improved, making it more suitable for older individuals as well. The climb was certainly exhausting, but the effort was worthwhile.
