Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
Getting from Almaty Airport (ALA) to Kok Tobe takes about 30 min by car on an empty road (30–40 min in heavy traffic) over 19 km. Our private transfer costs €40 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €60 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at, holding a sign with your name: after international flights in the main arrivals hall on the first floor of the International Terminal (T2), past the customs exit; after domestic flights in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Kok Tobe is a hill of about 1,100 m on the south-eastern edge of central Almaty, topped by the city's tall tubular television tower and a park with viewpoints, about 19 km from the airport. The route crosses the city towards Dostyk Avenue and then turns uphill onto the winding road that climbs the slope through gardens and houses to the upper car park. Vehicle entry to the upper part is controlled by the park and carries a separate entry charge for private cars.
The park at the top has several viewing terraces over the city towards the steppe and the Trans-Ili Alatau, a small zoo, cafes and rides, and the base of the television tower, which is closed to visitors. A cable car links the summit with a lower station near Abay Avenue in the city centre. Many visitors come at sunset, when the lights of Almaty spread out below. Paths lead from the upper car park to the terraces in a few minutes on foot.
Public transport instead: Almaty city bus (airport day route 92) 92 from Almaty International Airport (stops at the exits of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2) to Mamyr-2 microdistrict (terminus in south-western Almaty), daily 06:00–23:00; night route 3 runs from the airport to the Orbita-2 microdistrict 23:00–06:00, sold on the first floor of the International Terminal, 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to Kok Tobe: bus 92 runs from the terminals into the city, and the hill is reached from the south-eastern part of the centre by the cable car or by the road up the hill.
