What To Expect
Shymbulak
The key feature of Almaty is that the city is located near high mountains reaching 5000m above sea level. This location makes it possible to enjoy the beauty of the mountains without leaving the city. Thanks to this, in this private car tour you will have the opportunity to visit one of the landmarks of Almaty - Shymbulak High-Mountain Ski Resort, ride on a Cable Car, and enjoy the panorama of mountain peaks. You will go up close to the clouds to Shymbulak Mountain Ski Resort, located in the picturesque gorge of Trans-Ili Alatau at an altitude of 2260 m above sea level. Further, the cable car will take you upper to Talgar pass (3200 m above the sea level), where a magnificent scenery of Trans-Ili Alatau mountain peaks opens. In addition, you will visit the park, located right on the top of the hill with an amazing view of the city of Almaty.
Alma-Arasan Gorge
Hidden amidst the stunning landscapes south of Almaty, the Alma-Arasan Hot Springs stand as a remarkable testament to nature’s healing powers. These springs, located at an elevation of 1835 meters in the Prohodnoe Gorge, are celebrated for their mineral-rich waters and captivating scenery. Let’s explore why Alma-Arasan should be on your travel list.

Has an excellent command on English and very passionate in explaining the history and background information about the places we visited. he is well versed with current affairs and we had great conversations on the way. Overall a very pleasant personality. Bonus, he knows all the good spots to eat and especially if you are an Indian. We loved the food there. Thank you

5.00We had a wonderful time visiting these places. We rode the cable car up Shymbulak mountain and the view was breathtaking. Our informative and friendly guide who was also our driver cum photographer took very nice pictures of us. He spoke English fluently so it was a bonus as he provided us with useful insights. Kok Tobe was kind of like a theme park with rides for the young ones. There were also some petting animals for the kids to play with. All in all this trip was a memorable and fun for us. Highly recommended.

5.00A private tour of Shymbulak, Koktobe, and the Cathedral Church in Almaty is an excellent way to explore the city’s stunning natural beauty, rich culture, and fascinating history. The flexibility of a private tour allows for a more relaxed and personalized experience compared to group tours. You can spend more time at each location, fully immersing yourself in the surroundings. The guides are typically very knowledgeable and friendly, offering insights that truly enrich the experience. I highly recommend Mr. Erasyl as a tour guide – he is accommodating, personable, and goes out of his way to ensure the tour is enjoyable and informative. Whether you're interested in the scenic views of Shymbulak, the panoramic vistas from Koktobe, or the history behind the Cathedral Church, this tour is definitely worth it!

5.00I had an amazing experience visiting Shymbulak Medeu Resort, Kok-Tobe Hills, Green Bazar, Arbat Street, Cathedral of the Holy Ascension, and the Rakhat Chocolate Factory with Everest Tours. Everything was perfectly organized, and the trip exceeded all expectations. The car provided was brand new, comfortable, and ideal for our journey. Our guide spoke excellent English, was incredibly friendly, and took great care of us throughout the trip. He also brought along a DSLR camera and captured some truly stunning photos of our family, which was a wonderful bonus! The guide was attentive to all our needs and ensured we were comfortable at every step of the way. His knowledge and dedication made the experience even more special. I highly recommend Everest Tours for anyone planning a trip. Their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. This was a memorable trip for our family, and we’ll cherish it forever!
