Day 2 in Almaty was all about visiting the breathtaking Alpine Lake- The Big Almaty Lake(BAO). While BAO was absolutely gorgeous, visiting it turned out to be quite a hassle... Not to discourage anyone from visiting this gorgeous lake, which we did and loved it, sadly, the lake has become a plot for local corruption activities (check out our facebook/ insta stories for all the details).
In any case, I would still recommend everyone to visit this glacial lake (if you have time, go for the hike) which was formed as a result of numerous earthquakes in the Tien Shan Mountains and the lake changes color from milky green to milky Turquoise blue depending upon the time of the day.

The easiest way to reach the lake from the Almaty city is to book a Yandex cab and negotiate with the driver to halt for an hour or two which would cost you total about 15000 KZT(6000KZT return fare + 9000KZT waiting charge) i.e. (30€/2800 INR/ 33$)
