Oasis in the steppe, mountain, desert, Falcon mountain near Astana.

Hello everyone, here you can see a photo report about the trip to the Falcon mountains, an amazing place located in the middle of the bare steppe just 130 km from the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana. The road very simple. It’s a one-day trip.This place is amazing primarily because there are many species of falcons, deer, roe deer, marmots… And the place it is mountains, rocks with typical plants and fauna of the mountains, located in the middle of the steppe. Nearby there is a lake where you can go fishing, and swimming if weather won’t bee cold) or you can pick mushrooms and berries here.

Hello TsekoV, you are welcome ))

When we were going to the falcon mountains, we met the Marmot on the road who didn’t hide in a hole when we arrived, but posed like a model.

the reason was that he got caught in a loop set by poachers. I had to take pliers and bite the steel loop. He defended himself like an angry bull. Probably didn’t think that I’m going to save it. And he has very big teeth and claws and screams like a human child. But we did that. I was with my family.

You saved the life of the animal @b_andrey . This is a great deed and an act of a true human heart - an example for everyone to remember that we are all equal on this Earth and shouldn’t be doing this.
