Excurison to Shimbulak cable way and Kok Tube cable way
In the city of Almaty there are two cable cars along which it is possible to make excursions to the Almaty mountains, the first place is the Kok-Tyube mountain to which the cable car leads, the second place is the Shymbulak high-mountain base, the high-mountain cable car (funicular) leads to it. We invite you to visit both of these cable cars in one day and climb the mountains. A panorama of the city awaits you on Kok-Tyube, a place to visit both in the evening and in the daytime. Shymbulak is also very beautiful, but the place is located high in the mountains at an altitude of 2500 meters above sea level, much higher than Mount Kok-Tyube.
