🍴 Food Recommendations Try the local Version of McDonald's "I'M" , many good Café's with Cake like Nedelka and nice little Bistro Baursak Café for local food.
📌 Tips Use HSBC Bank ATM' s to avoid ATM service charge. Get enough water with you while on hike, at least a bottle, so you can refill at some couple of sources and waterfalls along the way. Have good shoes. Public bus payment is difficult, you can not install the app to buy a ticket. So just get in the bus without paying, no one will care when you are a foreigner.#travel #travelhacks #almaty #hike #nature
