The purpose of the trip is the development and strengthening of the continuity of generations as well as the study of the cultural heritage of the native land.

The historical and archaeological complex "Ak Bauyr" is a unique monument of nature, history and archeology. There are many petroglyphs of different epochs, cemeteries of the Bronze Age, Iron Age mounds, including rare archeological complexes: barrows with mustaches, burials dating from the early Middle Ages on its territory.

A special place is occupied by a grotto with rock paintings made by red ocher and dated to V-III thousand BC. Specific natural factors led to the sacredness of the territory on which not only the complex ceremonies of the seasonal calendar cycle and funeral-memorial rituals were conducted, but also astronomical observations of sun, sun and stars, equinoxes and solstices were recorded.
