Where, exactly, is Almaty, Kazakhstan??




As these two maps show, KZ is bordered by Russia to the north, China to the east, and three of the other "stans" to the south. Almaty (formerly known as Alma Ata, and still known that way for airline schedules) is located in the southeast portion of the country. It's about a 7 hour flight and 5 time zones from Frankfurt, Germany, my European stop-over. I'll be arriving in Almaty at about midnight on Saturday, April 29.
