I've recently been planning a trip to Kazakhstan, specifically Almaty, and I'm really excited about the diverse experiences this city offers. For those considering a visit, I highly recommend checking out Shymbulak Ski Resort for some breathtaking mountain views and outdoor activities, especially if you're into skiing or hiking. Another must-see is Big Almaty Lake—the turquoise water surrounded by mountains is just stunning, and it's only a short drive from the city. Lastly, don’t miss out on visiting the Zenkov Cathedral in Panfilov Park. It’s a beautiful wooden structure with a lot of history behind it, perfect for those interested in architecture and culture. Kazakhstan, and Almaty in particular, have so much to offer, and I’m sure it’ll be an unforgettable trip!
