It’s Relatively Affordable

Almaty is the ideal place to go if you are concerned about how to visit the world on a budget. Falling oil prices prompted Kazakhstan to float its currency in 2015. Two years ago, a dollar would only purchase about half as much tenge as it does today. Almaty is still the most costly city in Central Asia, although by European standards, it is still rather inexpensive to travel there. The cost of a dorm bed at the highly regarded Almaty Backpackers is approximately $9 per night, whereas this wonderful one-bedroom apartment on AirBnB can be found for $30 per night (and you can save $40 on your first booking by using this link). In a cafe, a decent midrange lunch will cost about $8, and a beer will cost about $3.

Almaty offers reasonably priced transportation, and its cost of living is about 60% less than that of London. Public transportation, such buses, is frequently far less expensive than private transportation, which will cost about 150₸ (30p) per kilometer.
