Snow-capped peaks visible from the middle of the city, a canyon coloured like it was carved out of Mars, and apples that, according to the locals, started right here before spreading round the world.
The best time to visit Almaty & the Tian Shan is Jun–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 30°C (86°F).
