Things to do in Almaty

Almaty: The Golden Apple of Central Asia

Almaty is one of the most surprising and rapidly growing destinations in world tourism. Nestled at the foot of the majestic Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, this former capital of Kazakhstan offers a stunning mix of Soviet-era history, modern European vibes, and breathtaking natural scenery. Whether you are a nature lover or a city explorer, our Almaty Group Tours unlock the secrets of this Central Asian gem.

Why Choose an Almaty Group Package?

While Almaty is beautiful, the best sights—like the canyons and alpine lakes—are located hours outside the city, and navigating local transport with language barriers can be difficult. TripClub makes it easy. Our packages provide comfortable, private transportation to these remote wonders, along with expert guides who bridge the language gap and share the rich history of the Silk Road.

Our itineraries take you beyond the city limits to witness landscapes that rival North America and Europe:
