Oh I was in and around Almaty (and a few days in Kyrgyzstan) like two months ago, loved Almaty and the mountains and landscapes around it. Such a beautiful and also really modern city but so close to amazing nature as well. Definitely one of the best cities I went to so far and I think it will stay as that for a long time. Miss it and the mountains in the background; definitely want to go back, greetings from Sweden.

You said you don’t know why you’re not allowed to swim in the lake and as someone who lives in Almaty I’ve been told the lake is actually a large water source for the city, so that’s probably why ^^ It’s great to see more foreigners exploring Kazakhstan, it’s a nice place for the most part! Keep doing what you’re doing, cheers

not sure how safe it would be to swim there . it is downstream from where the USSR used to carry out their nuclear testing, above and below ground . Being downstream might mean that a lot gets carried down that way
