Sad to see all this. I went there in October 2023. I have not purchased sim card from airport. I went to city by bus number 86. Paid just 200 tenge. Which i have withdrawn outside airport ATM. Purchased sim card in almaty city for 1000 tenge, which worked for 10 days. I have not used much internet. Just 2gis maps. I travel by bus and yandex taxi. Never i felt unsafe during my journey of three cities. Almaty Astana and Shymkent with Turkistan.

Hello, Upon arrival at Almaty Airport do indian passport holders need to full in migration cards ? Do they get stamped ? How about registration? They do it at hotels right ? Can we get a receipt that we were registered as a foreigner ? Let me know please. Thanks.
It was unfortunate it happened to you. You didn't mention that after your article published in Pune pulse, the kazakh authorities took notice and the taxi scammer is arrested and inside bars. Do you think this kind of promp action will take place in India in similar condition? No it won't. Ladies are raped on front of their partners. Two wrongs don't make right. Kazakhstan is one of the safest places for women. I have lived their for more than 7 years and a frequent traveler.
I recorded this video way before the authorities took action and there is no point in comparing 2 countries and asking what Indian authorities might have done and what Kazakhstan authorities did. I faced an incident, I shared it and also mentioned that I loved Kazakhstan overall and this once incident unfortunately happened in Kazakhstan but could have happened anywhere. There is nothing more to add here!
It is also unfortunate that people like you have the mentality to defame our own country just to praise a foreign one, despite being Indian. Can you guarantee that all 1.96 crore people in Kazakhstan don’t want to scam or hurt you? There will always be 1% of people (everywhere in the world) who live by scamming and wrongdoing, and she is simply trying to make us aware of that. Instead of getting into such uncomfortable, scammy situations like she did, she is helping us avoid them. She’s also helping to improve the image of Kazakhstan, making it seem like a more friendly and amazing place. I can guarantee that, to this day, taxi drivers at the airport are still scamming tourists, but this doesn’t define Kazakhstan or its people. There’s no need for such a harsh comparison between the two countries.
Nice video very good informative. Mem we going to Almaty in group tour plan. We all all where live there very useful area & mostly we handmade indian food there. Likely how much price apartment in Almaty on room par night with kitchen???
The background sound is loud, reduce it a bit, place the background sound at the right place, this will make your video much better, this is just a suggestion 😊
Very informative video and sad that you had to go through the taxi scam. Is December/January too cold to explore and if we want to experience snow with bearable weather what’s the best time?
Hey! yes there is everything available at the old terminal which is 2-3 mins walking distance from the new terminal, something I didn't know when I first landed
You mentioned that you are on a solo trip and in your vlog you are continuously mentioning we and us words it’s quite misleading And also I would suggest you to kindly watch the vlogs that are already there in RUclips will help you only in smooth experience and travel to any of the country each and every vlog that is there on RUclips for Almaty trip is quite useful for all the new travellers around to plan accordingly
The reviews for NIYO are very bad…how is your personal experience with NIYO global? Many people have put in reviews that they are not able to withdraw their money.
I have used NIYO in all 6 countries I have traveled so far and I have had good experience. There are some issues during night sometimes when the server is down and there is no prior information about this. I use NIYO for online transactions but also keep cash handy.
Glad that you are safe 🙌🏼
Informative ❤

@@prashantovich You tightly said, except these Taxi walas people of Kazakhstan are very nice sober and lovely.

Very informative video and sad that you had to go through the taxi scam. Is December/January too cold to explore and if we want to experience snow with bearable weather what’s the best time?
Thanks Suresh. Dec and jan is going to be extremely cold. I would suggest Nov or Feb for somewhat bearable weather
Hi Komal, just curious, do we have ATMs at the airport? Or currency exchange counter at airport?
Hey! yes there is everything available at the old terminal which is 2-3 mins walking distance from the new terminal, something I didn't know when I first landed
Loading a card in apps like Woosh or Yandex, but will the zero forex cards support the payment in Tenge?
yes it does. That won't be a problem
I changed plan based on your experience
I hope you are still visiting
