Kok Tobe

Kok Tobe is absolutely magical at night and was one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Almaty. I visited Kok Tobe after sunset, and the moment I reached the top, the view left me speechless. The entire city of Almaty was glowing below—endless twinkling lights surrounded by dark mountain silhouettes. It felt calm, romantic, and almost surreal, like watching the city breathe from above. At the top, there’s plenty to explore: walking paths, viewing platforms, cafes, souvenir shops, and the famous Kok Tobe TV Tower standing tall nearby. The atmosphere at night is peaceful yet lively, with families, couples, and travelers enjoying the cool breeze and panoramic views. It’s well-lit, clean, and very well maintained. What I loved most was simply standing there, taking it all in—the quiet wind, the lights, and the feeling of being above the city. If you’re visiting Almaty, I would highly recommend visiting Kok Tobe at night rather than during the day. The experience feels more intimate, cinematic, and unforgettable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-visit spot in Almaty, especially for first-time visitors and anyone who loves city views, photography, or peaceful nighttime experiences.

The experience of going up was fine, but we couldn’t take the ropeway from the bottom. I would recommend taking the ropeway from the lower point because starting from the top can feel a bit difficult and tiring. It is much more comfortable and easier when you take the ropeway from the bottom.

A nice view of the entire city from this place, an amusement park along for the kids to have their time, a roller coaster adventurous ride available along with the giant ferries wheel. Quite a few activity to do around, nice place to spend one half of the entire day with family. Eateries around as well ☺️☺️☺️

Good place for families with kids. Koktobe has alot to offer. They have parks with playgrounds, zoo and many more. We went by bus and went down by cable car. But we noticed some foul smell in the zoo area. But overall it was good what i love most was the over looking snow capped mountain view. Breath taking. We went during winter month of November.

A nice place on hill top and can be reached by Gondola. . The entire city can be visualised . A very good place for children for various sports and activities.

It’s a must-visit place in Almaty. It’s best to go there by funicular, which is located behind the Novotel Hotel. The view is magnificent, and there are several activities on site for both adults and children. Only electric vehicles are allowed to access the area, for environmental reasons

Kok tobe is the highest point of almaty city. You see whole almaty City from Coke tobe. It's a very beautiful Inthe snow season like heaven

Kok tobe is under maintenance when we arrived, thus we go to the upper part of the area and paid 3000 tenge for the transportation going to uphill and back. When we arrived it’s already dark even though it’s still 4-5pm, the sun goes down vert early. Can seee the city lights glowing. The park is really impressive with different activities that can be done. Our most fave is the fast coaster - it’s very thrilling, if you don’t know how to break maybe it will cost your heart to beat very fast. It’s really high and fast - but one of the memorable memory that we have. Must try♥️
