Things to do in Almaty, Kazakhstan: The Best Multi-day Tours

August 25, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

Almaty /ˈælməti/ (Kazakh: Алматы, Almaty [ɑlmɑˈtə]; Russian: Алматы), formerly known as Alma-Ata /ˌælmə.əˈtɑː/ (Russian: Алма-Ата) and Verny (Russian: Верный Vernyy), is the largest city in Kazakhstan, with a population of 1,797,431 people, about 8% of the country's total population. It served as capital of the Kazakh state in its various forms from 1929 to 1997, under the influence of the then Soviet Union and its appointees. Alma-Ata was the host city for a 1978 international conference on Primary Health Care where the Alma Ata Declaration was adopted, marking a paradigm shift in global public health. In 1997, the government relocated the capital to Astana in the north of the country, which is about 12 hours away by train.

Hard to find words describing how beautiful are these places: Charyn Canyon “Valley of the Castles”, and Moon (Yellow) Canyon. I went there during winter with a very professional guide from KazGuideTour, and everything was absolutely perfect: no crowd, no heat, beautiful sun, nice layer of snow on the rock, and wonderful undisturbed wildlife!

This tour was great! Chingiz and Askhat arranged for to take our whole family (6 adults and 2 kids) up to big Almaty Lake and to the falcon show. We also stopped for lunch on the trip up to the Lake. The location they selected was fantastic! Great food and wonderful conversation. Both our tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. The falcon show was wonderful and Chingiz made sure we all sat in the best spot in the bleachers, The grandkids loved the falcon show. Chingiz also took us on a tour of the falcon show facilities so we were able to see the birds and Kazakh dogs up close. We highly recommend Explore Kazakhstan!
