5 Days of Snow, Celebration & Adventure

In the evening, take a cable car ride to Kok Tobe Hill, where you’ll get a stunning view of the city lights. Visit the Beatles Monument, explore the Medeu Ice Rink, and take a gondola ride to Shymbulak, where you’ll see the snowy peaks shining under the night sky.

Then, visit Panfilov Park, where the Zenkov Cathedral glows beautifully after dark. Stroll through Arbat Street, where you’ll find street performers, holiday lights, and cozy cafés. If you’re in the mood for nightlife, optional stops at bars and clubs are available.

Return to Almaty in the evening.

Your evening begins with a drive to Charyn Canyon, where you’ll catch the sunset over the dramatic rock formations. After dark, sit around a campfire for a relaxing meal under the stars. With no city lights nearby, this is one of the best places to enjoy a clear night sky. If you love adventure, you can camp overnight, or return to the city before midnight.

This day is yours to enjoy however you like. You can rest at your hotel, explore the city, or take an optional trip to Oi Qaragai Lesnaya Mountain Resort for extra winter fun.

After breakfast, pack up and check out. Make sure you have all your documents before heading to the airport for your flight home.
