I didn’t come to Kazakhstan for Almaty city itself - I knew that what I wanted to see was Kazakhstan’s natural beauty. Even so, I was taken aback by how little I enjoyed Almaty. As a result, this made my enjoyment of Ile-Alatau national park all the better given that it made the whole trip worthwhile. I spent a lovely day hiking jn the Tian Shan mountains (taking the trail to Butaktova waterfall from Medeu), amidst stunning mountain views and natural beauty, and I’d recommend doing so to anyone in Almaty. Getting to Medeu doesn’t take long from the centre, and both there and back you can get an inexpensive bus.

In August snow starts at about 3.500 m ASL. One can reach as far high as 3,200 m with several cable cars. From the top station it is possible to take a beautiful track to a nearby glacier. It's not an easy walk if you are not fit, due to the high altitude and low oxygen, but it's worth the effort (about 1 hour walk up-hill). At this time there are plenty of flowers and butterflies, that are found only in high altitude (like Edelweiss...).
There is a car park near the lower cable car, and several restaurants in the cable-car intermediate stations at chimbulak and at the station above it.
