After our morning run and a quick bath in the ice cold river next to our spot, we were on our way towards Almaty. Not with the goal to reach it, but it’s our general direction for now. We found a nice spot on iOverlander in a valley close to Almaty, so this was the goal for the day. On the way we filled up water and some locals gifted us apples, just crazy how kind the people here are.
On the spot in the valley we then met some other overlanders that we already knew from Instagram, but never met in person so far.
