  • I took the layover for 24 hours in Almaty, Kazakhstan. I book a flight with Air Astana from Delhi to Almaty and opted for 72 hours Transit Visa which is available for most of the countries (that includes India as well).
    It was freezing cold in Almaty and because of the last-minute decision to take the layover in Almaty, Kazakhstan I wasn’t even prepared for the snowfall and -15ºC temperature. You will be laughing out loud after seeing how I managed it.
    With the limited hours at hand, I kept roaming around the city. I am sharing Almaty Vlog loaded with my personal experiences of Food, Nightlife, City Bus, Local Taxi and Winter Sports of Almaty.
    In this Travel Vlog, I have also discussed my flight review of Air Astana in detail from Delhi to Almaty and Almaty to Istanbul.
    Meet you all in my upcoming travel videos.

      The visa-free regime for citizens of these countries is valid unilaterally. According to the new regulations, citizens of India, Iran and China can enter Kazakhstan without a visa for up to 14 calendar days from the moment of crossing the border for business, private and tourist purposes.

    Hello Shanshak, nice video mate. Does the airport have anything to put your luggage in for a day? Also, do you find a layover for 10 hours worthwhile from London to roam around. Thank u

    • @ShanshankSharma
      @ShanshankSharma  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not sure about Locker facility. Move out from Airport for 5 hours as there is nothing inside and you will meet and greet with the people of Almaty. Convert $50 at Airport, that will be more than enough for 5 hours.

    Sir
    Do we Indian need a Transit Visa to go out of the airport in Almaty during 24hrs Layover?
    If Yes then is it free or do they charge any fee?

    • @ShanshankSharma
      @ShanshankSharma  12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      As I have explained in this video, yes, Indians need a transit visa which is valid for 96 hours. The transit is free, but if you are flying with Kazakh Airlines, then a pre-arrival form needs to be filled out at Indian airports, and your visa will be ready at Almaty.
      And, just in case you forget to fill that form then you can do that at Almaty Airport as well. Happy flying!

    • @mirabella69
      @mirabella69 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​​​​@@nocturnalanimal79November is cold but can be snowless. You can already ski at Shymbulak and ice skate at the Medeo in Almaty. If you go to Astana, please wear warm clothes. Because Astana is much colder than Almaty. It can be -30, -40 C in Astana because it is in the north.
      P/s. Regarding trekking. If you are lucky, Almaty can be quite warm in November (I looked at the forecast. It is going to be around +9 C -day, -4 C night). At least in my opinion, as a local, it is a warm weather😅 For you it might be considered chilly or cold though.

    • @ShanshankSharma
      @ShanshankSharma  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey Ya! 😁... 3 layer of clothing on top, Thermal - sweater - jacket which works till -20 degree
      2 layer of clothing in bottom - Thermal - Solid jeans.
      I wasn't prepared for this much heavy snow so footwear was not upto the mark. I will recommend you to buy hiking/trekking shoes.
      Also, buy gloves and cap else your hands and ears get freeze after 10-15 minutes. Happy Winter 😊 !

      I opt for Hawa Bus, It was the most affordable way. 20 Lira per person. It will drop you directly at Taksim Square. Train and Trams are not available at New Istanbul Airport right now.
      Taxi guys was asking 500-600 Lira for Taksim(40KMs) 🤑

    • @ShanshankSharma
      @ShanshankSharma  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      1. If you're not leaving the airport, a transit visa isn't necessary.
      2. However, if you plan to venture out for a few hours, consider pre-applying at the departure time for Kazakhstan's local airlines, such as AirAstana.
      3. If you're flying with a non-local airline, approach the immigration counter to inquire about a free transit or visa on arrival by presenting your onward flight details.

    Buddy u know it's winter abd and cold and u r walking without winter clothes. Imagine me coming to India and wear the fur coat during hot summer season. And also do not walk on the road shouldn't - it's dangerous. Roads are slippery, drivers might be distracted, breaks might be malfunctioning even though u as a pedestrian have the right to walk through the zebra (pedestrian crosswalk) it's still very dangerous. There are sidewalks everywhere in Kazakhstan.

      Hello Timur, Thanks for watching and caring. I was wearing 3 layers of clothing... Thermal wear, a sweater, and then an Armani jacket which works at -15 degrees. 😄
      I wasn't walking on the roads, I was trying to take a taxi to the hotel and yes I used the sidewalks all the time. Hope I will not repeat the same mistakes in my next visit to Almaty or Kazakhstan🫠.

      Helpful? Its my travel vlog, and I have not mentioned anywhere watch "Almaty Travel Guide". If you have seen the video then in the beginning, I have mentioned that I booked it just 1-2 days ago as my another flight to Istanbul was canceled. And, this travel experience people really need to watch, to understand that if they don't have a internet in this city then it will be very hard to find the address of your Hotel.
      Snow was making it difficult to roam around but I really enjoyed my 24 hours in Almaty. Cheers!
