We choose almaty for this year's annual Rotary trip. We heard so much about this little gem of a city located only 3 hours flight away from Delhi. We all had a great time. Lovely weather, amazing shopping and amazing bars, clubs & sheesha lounges. Our trip to Big Almaty lake followed by picnic lunch by river side was the highlight.
Hotel Ritz Carlton was simply wow. We enjoyed some of the best views of the mountains and city from this tall hotel and loved the shopping at Esentai mall.
Destination Travels organised an amazing trip for our group and we all had a memorable visit.
