Talate Village
塔拉特村
A Kazakh log-house village on the banks of the Ertix River, known as the 'First Village on the Ertix,' with a concentration of homestays and herder life experiences.
Talate Village lies east of Koktokay Town, near the Ertix Grand Canyon Scenic Area. Known as the 'First Village on the Ertix,' it preserves traditional log houses set against forested hills, with the Ertix River in front. In autumn the white birches turn golden, and in winter the cabins are blanketed in snow, giving it the feel of a Nordic snow village. In recent years the village has developed homestays and herder-style farmstays, where visitors can sample hand-carved mutton, milk tea and baursak fried dough. It is also a convenient place to stay between the canyon and the ski resort. Entry to the village is free. Please respect local residents' daily lives and do not enter private courtyards or photograph private homes without permission.
