    I just posted it a week back…you visited and came back already? Frankly my experience was all good - except maybe food because I’m a vegetarian and prefer to eat protein rich diet which was hard to get there. The only other challenge was language but again had a guide who spoke fluent Kazakh, Russian and English, plus she was a historian, so not really true struggle here as well.

    Hello, I'm from Almaty, Kazakhstan. In May, you can't see snow here. Snow here is available:) only from late October till March. It's not that cold in May here, and starting in June, we sometimes have hot weather or sometimes very hot. Idk, you can visit KZ anytime, but if you want to see snow, then it's not the right time in May.
