Borovoye (Burabai in Kazakh language) is the name of the district occupying the northeast part of the Kokshetausky hill. It consists of a large number of lakes of all sizes, as well as the lower, densely wooded mountains. The large solid mass file of granite resulted in formation of original local microclimate with higher rainfall, lower temperature in summer time and best protection from winds. The Borovoye offers as much pleasure and relaxation as anyone can hope for.Here you may lie on the beach all day long and swim in the lake, or you may go hiking or bike riding on the smoothest roads. Or you may even do nothing more than sit back and enjoy the fresh air of the beautiful pine forests, all making it an ideal place to mix business with pleasure, if needed.
