Hello, i wanted to know how risky is it to go to big almaty lake & shymbaluk. Risky i meant by altitude. Are there facilities up there if one gets altitude sickness? Is there any day tours available which take even oxygen mask for precaution? I want to see big almat lake without climbing. I will go by car see it from the point take pic & go to shymbaluk next and come back.
