Yes, the normal ticket includes gondola ride only. Chair car ride is an add-on to the ticket. So don't purchase "Quad" ticket. Just take a ticket to Combi-2. Have a safe trip! ✈️

What’s the difference between Gondola 360 worth 2500 tenge and same worth 3500 tenge? It’s in their website. I can’t seem to find the difference before booking online
Beautiful Vlog ! Kudos from a fellow travel fanatic. in your Blog u went up by the open chair ( quad), but all other vlogs they show that the open chair can only be used by skiers ?? please clarify if you know
Hey! Thank you! Alright so let’s learn it quickly this way that till “Shymbulak station” you will have to take Gondola ride from there you have to walk left to KKD4 (Quad) side were you can take “chair car ride” which is open for everyone except kids below 5-7! From there you will each to “Quad level” later you have to walk 300-400m to Combi 1 level from where you can take gondola ride only to Combi 2 which is the observation deck. Hope your doubts are cleared ✅ if not please feel free to ask! ✨
Excellent elaboration guys!! Hats off to you both. Wanted to ask about the itinerary you guys had during the trip. Where did you stay? To visit those places you mentioned should I stay in the same place or should I move along?
Thank you very much! For the details regarding itinerary please checkout our Almaty playlist on our channel and you must not move along, rather you must stay in the city centre
Hi, thank you for this recommendation, the bus no12 stop exatly in front of the station? Because i see the routes end at medeu. Im planning to do day trip for this in early September
Hi! Yes, bus no 12 stops at Medeu which is the base level of Shymbulak. Also, Medeu is the point at which you’ll purchase the tickets! Enjoy your trip! ✅And you must watch this video before going to Almaty: th-cam.com/video/-ifyrEUh2Us/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Em4pclHXCP7TkHNJ
Yes we visited in Mid November the temperature was not in minus that time and it was around 4-12 degrees we needed proper jackets and layerings. If you’re coming from India consider this a very cold weather!
Hi there! Pretty useful video, thanks for posting. Did you also return by bus no. 12? Is the bus schedule available on the app u mentioned? Also, do you think yandex go is reliable as a taxi service app.. bcos ill be traveling in next few days and plan to use it.
Hey! Thank you! Yes we returned via same bus, also the schedule is not mentioned but by evening we had to wait for like 20min for the bus! Yandex go is super reliable! It is cheap and becomes really useful if you have less time! 🤟🏻 Watch this video if you’re travelling soon to Almaty: th-cam.com/video/-ifyrEUh2Us/w-d-xo.html
@Your_BucketList Awesome, thanks for your reply! I was a bit apprehensive abt using cabs b/c I saw a few videos people posted of being overcharged/scammed by drivers. So yandex go should be reliable then, will use it.
If you are a fan of snow then it’s the best time for you, and the temperature can be between to -10 to 10. Watch this video to be even more sure while planning to come to Kazakhstan: th-cam.com/video/-ifyrEUh2Us/w-d-xo.html
Hi there! I have been following your Kazakhstan series very closely. 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, will i be able to see snow covered mountains? 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 cost effective. 4) I have planned to cover everything in Almaty for 5 days, so the remaining 4-5 days which cities and places should I cover?
Hey Rachna! For your queries: 1) Well right now due to weather disturbances there’s a lot of impact on climate hence, it can rain anytime so be prepared with an umbrella and rain coat. You will be able to find snow covered mountains only at Shymbulak (at combi -2) 2) Bring USD only and convert it at MIG store in Almaty. You may carry Ample based on the budget you decide. Also this is one of the cheapest places to travel. 3) Kazakhstan is very safe. Safe for men and women. Almaty is a place were you can travel alone you don’t really need a tour agent. Take a day tour for excursion to lakes. (Almaty Tour in ₹1500 ONLY to Kolsai Lake, Kaindy Lake & Canyon th-cam.com/video/6rwlxO3c21o/w-d-xo.html ) 4) You can explore Capital city, Astana. The Eastern part of Kazakhstan, Aktau which is ok Caspian Sea. Now, when you’re touching CIS countries. Spend some time in Kazakhstan and then fly to Uzbekistan, later touch Azerbaijan and Georgia! 👍🏻✈️ Travel safe.

Which month did you went? Recently I traveled this beautiful mountains and luckyly faced snow fall in Shymbulak. I want to go again so which will be the best time to c view this place?

Yes we visited in Mid November the temperature was not in minus that time and it was around 4-12 degrees we needed proper jackets and layerings. If you’re coming from India consider this a very cold weather!
Hi can we rent jackets and gum boots /snow boots anywhere in Almaty for visiting Shymbulak?
You get all ski gears and suits in Shymbulak itself. But for rentals to do the activities!
Else you must bring from India. There are no rental shops.
