Two separate incidents involving young tourists unfolded in the mountains near Almaty, with both requiring rescue assistance, according to infohub.kz.
The first case was recorded in Almaty's Medeu district, near Kumbel Peak. Rescuers from the Monitoring and Rapid Response Center assisted a young man born in 2008. He lost the trail on his way to the summit and was unable to continue on his own, so he called for help. The rescuers located the young man and escorted him to a safe section of the route. He did not require medical attention.
The second incident occurred in the Karasai district of Almaty Region, near Big Almaty Peak, which stands 3,681 meters above sea level. There, rescuers from the Almaty Monitoring and Rapid Response Center came to the aid of a young man born in 2007. He too lost the trail during his hike and could not descend on his own. The rescuers escorted him to an ecological post. He did not require medical assistance and made his own way home.
