Kazakhstan's capital, Almaty

Almaty is likely the largest city in Kazakhstan and is located in the Balkans. Almaty is a cultural, economic, and financial hub of Central Asia.

 

Many different centers, art galleries, museums, theaters, and exhibition halls have been built, and are included in historical tours throughout Kazakhstan.

From 1929-1998, Almaty city was considered the capital of Kazakhstan.

Almaty is a very beautiful city, and its landscapes fascinate the spirit of guests from Kazakhstan. The emerald tops of Alatau poplars and firs, the snow-capped peaks of the mighty Zaili Alatau, the freshness of the urban fountains, and the glittering squares and palaces create an unforgettable impression and remain in the memory of the visitors for a long time.

There is a racecourse, five well-known stadiums, and, of course, the famed ice rink "Medeo" in the southern capital (as it is accepted to call it).

You can climb to the highest point in the town of Kok-Tobe ("Blue Mountain") using a special ropeway.It is 1,130 meters above sea level.

By the way, this place is always unique and very interesting for visitors. Since the ropeway rises above the most ancient part of the town, which locals call "compote," This location's given name was received due to street names, which, for some reason, were Grape, Cherry, etc. This place, like many others, was included in the historical tour of Almaty. Also, the dam is a part of a sightseeing tour, through which you can get to the ski base of Chimbulak and have a memorable ski tour. The ski runs begin at a height of 3000m. And from the Chimbulak road, you will take you to the snowiest peaks, which have gained great popularity among alpinists.

There is a mountain gorge called Butakovka in the natural reserves of Kazakhstan near Almaty. A beautiful waterfall goes down from a height of 1.860 m. This natural landmark is part of the natural excursion of Kazakhstan. Less famous gorge-Big Almaty is laid out away from the city, in contrast to other natural attractions, so not all travelers reach him. However, if you do decide to include it in its natural tour, you will not regret it. Because of this, the road to the gorge will take you to the Big Almaty Lake, which is located at an altitude of 2.510 meters above sea level. It attracts visitors with its clean air as well as the constantly changing color of the water.

There is an observatory with a hotel near the lake, where you can get a beautiful view of the starry sky.

And of course, through the Big Almaty Lake passes one of the shortest roads to the side of Lake Issyk-Kul, which is located in Kyrgyzstan.

If you decide to visit all the natural sights around Almaty, do not forget about Mynzhylky Gorge and its glacial lake.
