Wonderful and very informative!! Some queries : 1) These Lakes and Canyon Trips from Almaty include lot of hiking/walking? or there is an alternative option to reach in front? Because I need to carry a 3 yrs old with me. 2) When and where I can see both snow and fall colour in KZ? What is the best time to visit? some snow will be great for my kid 3) I want to Visit Tamgaly Petroglyphs, Taraz, Aksu-Zhabagly Nature Reserve, Turkistan - what are the options how we can travel to these places from Almaty? 4) Is there any Direct and cheap flight to India from Turkistan Airport / Shymkent International Airport ? 5) How to book flight and trains from India which has Tenge only pay option? An other contact no related to stay or car drive will be helpful

1. Not really, it’s not much. For the lakes, you can reach pretty close by with car, buses or their own local options. Kolsai 2 can be done on horses. The canyon is either a walk or an open bus. It’s all doable. 2. You can do that in Almaty itself. There is medeu which is a year round ice arena. The best time to visit is during June to September when the weather is pleasant. We went in October and it was good too but it does start to get cold. 3. You need to remember Kazakhstan is a huge country and it takes time to travel from one part to another. Your options are: trains, buses and flights. We took trains and they are super comfortable. 4. You can find cheap flight options on kiwi.com 5. Why do you want tenge only pay options? For trains, use the official website to book trains in Kazakhstan and that will charge in tenge. 6. Stay options you can find in the video. For cab - which area are you looking at

Amazing travel guide for Kazakasthan. Thank you

Thanks Priya. May is actually one of the best months to visit Kazakhstan. The weather is not so cold, not so hot.

We are doing 14 days across Kaz. Thanks for your informative videos. Can we buy USB chargers and power plug in the airport. Not sure about plug points and converters although voltage levels are same.

Airports will be expensive, get out to the city and buy it from any local shops or markets. It’s cheaper, and I mean it - it’s way cheaper!

European ones work. But you can always buy one from their local market, it’s cheaper that way

Thanks for the lovely information.I had a few queries. 1) Can i use SBI Credit card for ATM Withdrawl. If yes then what will be the charges 2) Are there Indian/Pakistani supermarkets that sell jira,haldi,red mirchi etc.3) Also are 12 days enough or too much too cover whole of Almaty?

@mrsdaakustudio

Hey Viv, thanks for watching. 1. I haven’t used SBI so I cannot detail that. I used Citibank, and I covered the conversion in the video. You should speak with your bank to understand what they will charge. 2. I think you should be able to grab the spices, but I cannot be sure. In Almaty, there are lots of Indian restaurants and Indian people though - so I am guessing it might be available. 3. 12 days are more than enough for just Almaty. You should look at covering near by areas like saty, altynemel, shymkent etc. you can check saty here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/epiMrdaPZtzbg8Y.htmlsi=XFXJJ9c4qfWqUDhn

you can book after going there, we did that with the last hostel we booked and our stay at saty village. Just book the first one, and then book as you go.

Will we be allowed to enter Kazakhstan again after visiting Uzbekistan or we have to take the flight from Tashkent itself??

@mrsdaakustudio

3 ай бұрын

We did that, we went to Almaty first, crossed borders via land, travelled to Tashkent-Uzbekistan and then took a train from Tashkent to Almaty. Kazakhstan is visa free for Indians, so you can enter as many times. For Uzbekistan, however, you can get single entry or multple entry visa depending on your plans

I am not sure of hotels, we stayed at this guest house that I speak about - Ruslans and recommend it all the way. Aksu is far away, you can take a train to Tulkubas and ask Ruslans for the rest of the intructions OR you can take a train to Shymkent, take a bus to Tulkubas and go from there.

Hi there! Few queries if you can help me out with 1) traveling on last 15 days of August, is that a good time? How'd be the weather, snow? 2) dont have a credit or forex card, just debit card, will that work? How much local currency should i carry with me for 10 days? 3) travelling solo as a female, is it safe? Pls suggest some local tour guide companies and safe stays nearby for a solo female

Also staying for 10-12 days so which cities or places I must visit?

@mrsdaakustudio

August is fine, the weather will be decent. Your debit card works or not will depend on your bank, you want to confirm that before you leave the country. Credit cards are safer to use because you can raise dispute claims and all that. Think about getting one. Kazakhstan is safe for females. I didn’t do local tour companies but I am sure you can find many. For stay, prefer to stay in hostels so you have company. We stayed one day in a hostel (im forgetting the name but I have mentioned it in my saty video) and it was good. For 10-12 days, I think you can do Almaty, saty and Altyn eml national park OR Almaty, Saty, Aksu OR Almaty saty shymkent turkestan You won’t be able to do any more than that
