Start and end in Almaty
During the tour, we will visit the ski resort of Shymbulak, see the landscapes of high mountains and the glaciers of Til and Ayak, and also see the Bogdanoich glacier. The hiking starts from the Talgarsky pass (3200), we will go up there by cable car from Medeu. The pedestrian part will pass along the trail among the rocky slopes.
Bogdanovich glacier, perhaps, is the closest glacier to the city of Almaty located in Maloalmatinski spur of the Trans-Ili Alatau in the south-west of the Big Talgar pass. The glacier is named by glaciologist Dmitriev in 1911, in honor of the Polish-Russian professor-geologist Karl Bogdanovich, researcher of the earthquake that occurred in the city of Verny in 1910.
From the observation point of Bogdanovich glacier opens a magnificent view of the surrounding peaks: Amangeldy, Nursultan, Karlytau and many other.
You should be careful on the Bogdanovich Glacier!!! A glacier is a mobile part of a mountain ecosystem.

For good hiking you will need comfortable clothing - pants and jacket. The shoes should be without high heels: tourist trekking boots or similar, with a good sole and high lacing or sneakers.
It is also desirable to bring warm clothes, warmer than you normally wear; during the cold season - a hat and gloves.
Especially at high elevations, you’ll want to do what you can to avoid sunburn (yes, even in winter). In addition to packing sunscreen, wear a brimmed hat and sunglasses. Light, long-sleeve shirts like sun hoodies can be a lifesaver on exposed trails.
