Travel

**Kazakhstan, the world’s ninth largest country,** is a rugged natural wonderland of steppes, mountains, woodlands, canyons and lakes. Within its borders lies a section of the Tien Shan range, offering up the gorgeous **Alpine terrain of forests, valleys and snowy peaks** found in the Kolsay Lakes National Park. In this magical landscape shaped by time and tectonics, more than 100 years ago, **a great earthquake** shook these mountains, resulting in the formation of a new body of water: **Lake Kaindy, with its eye catching,** **bright turquoise waters**. What makes this lake really stand out are the **partially submerged spruce trees** which stand in its waters to this day. Ghostly, bare trunks rise out of the chilly waters, making for a striking panorama – and amazing pictures! Nearby are the **Kolsay Lakes, known as the "Pearls of Tien Shan"**, reached by a hike through dense, tranquil forest. Trails connect these stunning bodies of water which range from altitudes of 1800 to 2850 meters, making for a great excuse to stretch our legs. We’ll descend from green heights to dusty depths as we trek into the gorge known as Kazakhstan’s **Grand Canyon**. Known for its stunning similarity to its bigger brother in the USA, **Charyn Canyon National Park’s** red sandstone rock formations are a stark contrast to the country’s mountainous regions. The **second largest canyon in the world**, Charyn Canyon stretches about 154 km (96 mi) along the banks of the Charyn River. Over millennia, the elements have weathered and shaped the sedimentary rock into **pillars, winding corridors and crevices** just begging to be explored. **Grab your hiking boots,** **Let's go!** **DAY 1 // Thursday** Meeting at DXB T3 at 19:30 for a direct flight to Almaty at 21:30. **DAY 2 // Friday** Arrival. After completing immigration procedures transfer to the hotel for overnight stay. Start a day with a visit to Green Bazaar, Almaty’s bustling central market. Stroll through colorful stalls, sample fresh local fruits, nuts, kurt (fermented cheese), and buy some traditional sweets like chak-chak. Further on quick look at Zenkov Cathedral in Panfilov Park, one of the world’s tallest wooden buildings and a true architectural gem. Later ride toward the mountains - head towards Medeu, the famous high-altitude ice skating rink surrounded by forested slopes. From there, board the cable car to Shymbulak ski resort. Take your time as the views shift from urban to alpine. Continue on the second cable car line to the Talgar Pass station (3,200 m) the highest point accessible by lift. **Enjoy jaw dropping views of the Zailiyskiy Alatau** mountains and, if the weather is clear, take a short walk on the plateau to breathe in the thin, fresh mountain air. Grab a snack or hot drink at the panoramic cafe before heading back down. We’ll end the day by unwinding in a local teahouse with a plate of manty (dumplings) or lagman noodles, and a pot of Kazakh tea. **DAY 3 // Saturday** Early wake up call, grab packed breakfast and transfer by 4x4 to the Kolsay Lakes area. Short rest upon arrival. **Kolsay Lakes are considered one of the most beautiful natural spots** in Kazakhstan, often called the “Pearl of the Northern Tien Shan.” The lakes are situated at altitudes of 1800m, 2250m, and 2700m. The lower and middle lakes are home to local trout, especially visible at sunset. The upper lake is 4 km farther and 600 meters higher than the second lake, with the Kyrgyzstan border just 6 km away. From the Sary-Bulak Pass (3278m), you can even spot Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan. On calm days, the lakes reflect the sky and surrounding mountains with mirror-like clarity. **Today, we’ll do two treks**: trek around Kolsay Lake and a hike at Kaindy Lake, soaking in the region’s crystal-clear natural beauty. After lunch, we continue to Kaindy village. Optional horse riding is available at the village. Kaindy Lake, located at 1800 meters, is a **mystical site surrounded by dense spruce forest and mountain peaks**. Interestingly, "Kaiyndy" means “birch” in Kazakh, although the lake is bordered by pines, the name comes from a birch grove located further down the gorge. The lake was formed after a tectonic collapse triggered by a major earthquake in the early 20th century. Overnight at local guesthouse. **Day 4 // Sunday** Today its time for **Charyn Canyon, an awe-inspiring natural monument carved over 12 million years** by erosion, creating stunning rock towers and sediment formations. Often compared to the Grand Canyon in the U.S., Charyn is part of a national park that protects its rare geological formations and diverse wildlife. We’ll explore the canyon on foot from multiple viewpoints. Afterward, return to Almaty for dinner at a local restaurant. Overnight at the hotel upon arrival. **Day 5 // Monday** Transfer to the airport for departure at 03:40 AM. Back home early Monday morning. **Level of difficulty:** easy, available for beginners. **Activities:** trekking, sightseeing, optional horse riding. **Cost: AED 3,650 excl flights.** **Cost valid until JUNE 29th.** **Accommodation. & meals:** included - accommodation in local house and hotel - double sharing, local meals. **Specifically excluded:** Any costs related to visas - if any, **meals on transfers (in Almaty)**, optional horse riding, entry fees if any. **Visas:** Most of the passports visa free, otherwise e-visa. Visa support available except Lebanon and Pakistan passports. *It is sole responsibility of participant to secure entry to country of destination at the time of travel.* See yah in Kazakhstan x Trekkup Crew [Whatsapp 050 - 4848238](https://wa.me/971504848238) / [linktr.ee/trekkup](https://linktr.ee/trekkup)

**Perched on the coast of southern Mozambique, Vilanculos** is one of those destinations that seem to have **won the geographical lottery**. Soaring red dunes rise behind it; ahead lies the warm Indian Ocean, and beyond that, the white-sand Bazaruto Archipelago, scattered across clear turquoise seas. Arab traders and later Portuguese navigators once passed through these waters, drawn by monsoon winds and lucrative commerce. **You, more wisely, arrive for sunsets and cold drinks.** The area is one of the most ecologically important marine environments in the Indian Ocean. Protected as part of Bazaruto Archipelago National Park, its waters are home to dolphins, migrating humpback whales, five species of sea turtle and one of the last viable populations of dugongs in East Africa. Coral reefs support extraordinary biodiversity, while onshore, freshwater lakes and towering dunes create landscapes that feel surprisingly varied for a small chain of islands. **Here, adventure is abundant, but rarely feels strenuous**. Traditional dhows drift across to Magaruque Island, where shallow reefs, bright fish and seasonal flamingos make snorkelling and beach walks fascinating enough to fill a day. Further out, dramatic Bazaruto Island rises from the sea in sweeping dunes and freshwater lagoons, while Two Mile Reef offers some of the region’s best diving and snorkelling. Despite its growing popularity, it’s the kind of place that still feels like discovering a secret. While the offshore scenery draws most visitors to Vilanculos, the true soul of the place lives on the mainland. Much more than a gateway, this is a buzzing town of markets, fishermen, music and colorful patterned sarongs fluttering in the breeze. The town remains deeply connected to the sea: fishermen pull in their catches at dawn and dhow builders work along the shoreline. Beyond the beaches, there is a strong Swahili and Portuguese influence woven into daily life, food and architecture, giving the town a character that feels distinct from elsewhere in southern Africa. **Then comes the art of relaxation.** Afternoons are best left unscheduled, perfect for sea views, cocktails and strategic idleness. At sunset, the nearby Govuro River beckons for a leisurely canoe trip through mangroves, reeds and birdlife – letting the ranger do the work of paddling, of course. By the time departure day arrives, you’ll have a strong suspicion that nowhere else quite balances ocean, culture and stillness in the same way as Vilanculos. **Let’s go!** **Day 1: Arrival** Early afternoon arrival and transfer to the hotel to drop our luggage. Next, we’ll get this trip started properly by heading out to the red dunes inland of Vilanculos for some nibbles, drinks, and a spectacular sunset over the impressive panorama. After, we’ll return to town and you have the evening at your leisure. **Day 2: Magaruque Island** In the morning we’ll board our luxury dhow and make the one-hour journey to dreamy Magaruque Island. The day is yours to wander the white-sand coastline, spotting pink flamingos and other wildlife, or just relax on the beach and take in the picture-perfect scenery. For those who love getting in the water, the rocky reef teeming with fish is perfect for snorkeling. A tasty lunch of rice, fresh fish, salad, bread and fruits will be served right there on the beach. We’ll return to Vilanculos by late afternoon. Dinner at the hotel. **Day 3: Vilanculos** This morning we’re diving in and discovering the local Mozambican life, making our way through the town’s busy markets and trying to resist the urge to buy an excessive amount of colorful capulanas (local sarong fabric). Around midday, we’ll enjoy a traditional dance performance and a delicious local lunch. After, return to the hotel and you have the afternoon at your leisure. **Day 4: Bazaruto Island** Today we’re covering a bit more distance, so we’ll hop in a speedboat to cross the seas, taking about an hour to reach Punta d’Oundo in the southern part of Bazaruto Island. Once the tide is low, the skipper will bring us to Two Mile Reef for some incredible snorkeling. Once back on the island, we’ll have time to climb Punta d’Oundo’s towering sand dune and take in the amazing scenery – imagine a desert adrift in the middle of the sea. After lunch at the foot of the dune, we’ll make a final stop at Benguerra Island for a bit more swimming before we return to the mainland. Dinner and evening at your leisure. **Day 5: Govuru River canoe safari** Today we have the morning free to explore or just laze on the beach. In the afternoon, we’ll head to the Govuru River for a canoe safari. Flanked by low trees and bamboo, and carpeted in water lilies, this narrow waterway is nothing short of magical. We’ll spot native birds and take in the incredible scenery all around us as the sun sinks below the horizon. After our journey, we’ll return to the hotel. Optional dinner on the banks of the river, with a bonfire and a local musicians. **Day 6: Departure** In the morning we’ll have a few last hours to enjoy our little slice of paradise, before heading to the airport to catch our flight home. **Grade:** easy and relaxing tropical holidays. **Activities:** island hopping, canoeing, sightseeing, beach strolling, boating. Optional diving. **Accommodation:** Comfortable lodge, shared rooms. Single room at extra cost, subject of availability at the time of booking. **Meals:** Dinners excluded, 3 lunches included. **Cost: 5,220 AED excl. flights.** Cost valid until **JUNE 29**.

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
