Almaty Local Customs: 8 reviews and 3 photos

i've found kazakh people very welcoming, warm and nice which surely makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. before my travel to Almaty i contacted some of my clients and was surprisingly pleased the way they cared about my comfort and wellbeing-they suggested not to forget warm clothes if i'm ever planning to go to Chimbulak, organized entertainment, lunches at best restaurants so that i could try national cuisine..once after a meeting they even gave to me a big packet with best kazakh peers..all was very touching and i'm still so grateful..

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
