The starting point of the tour is the monument to Kenesary Khan – the last Kazakh Khan, the grandson of Abylai Khan, who led the national liberation movement of the Kazakhs, seeking to restore the Khan’s power, abolished after the annexation of the Russian Empire.

Then you will walk along the embankment of the Ishim river, which divides the city into two parts: the right and left banks.
