The best part of travel is who you meet. MORN. Events brings English-speaking travellers staying in different hotels together at some of Almaty's most beautiful places, and makes the first hello easy.

At a glance
You land, check in, and the city is right there: mountains at the end of the avenues, long evenings, more to see than days to see it. The people who would make it better are here too. They're discovering Almaty this same week. They're just in another lobby, three streets away.
Hostels have common rooms built for meeting people. Most hotels don't. Forums move slowly. By the time someone answers your post, one of you has already left. In a city full of travellers, it's surprisingly easy to spend the whole trip on your own.
MORN. Events is for the moment you'd rather not.
We choose a beautiful place in Almaty and a set time. Travellers from different hotels, guesthouses and apartments arrive there, and the meetup is shaped so that nobody has to work out how to begin. You and the other travellers are the main characters.
Why come, rather than go alone. You could walk to the same view on your own. What you can't do alone is arrive to a group of travellers who came for the same reason you did, with the place and time already chosen and the first conversation already easy.
Strangers rarely bond over small talk. They bond over the same view at the same moment. Mountain light, a view over the city, a path you walk side by side. They hand you the first sentence. Nobody has to perform; the place does the opening. And when you look back on Almaty, the people and the place stay in the same memory.
MORN. Events is planned around a weekly rhythm: seven different formats, one for each day of the week, each at a beautiful place in Almaty. Each format is designed to repeat every week, while the people change. Travellers arrive and leave, so every week the same format becomes a new meetup among people who haven't met yet.
See what's coming up in the events section on this page.
Some meetings last an evening. Some turn into dinner, a hike, or a drive to the canyons on Saturday. Some become friendships, and once in a while, something more. We set the scene; what happens next is yours.
If the evening ends with a plan to travel together, our day trips to Charyn, Kolsai and Kaindy are a ready-made way to go, and the co-sharing board helps you find seats and split the car.
Social hostels have common rooms, walking tours and group day trips put you next to other visitors, and some regular meetups happen in bars. MORN. Events is made for English-speaking travellers staying in hotels or apartments: a meetup at a beautiful place, with other people who are also here for a few days.
Of course. Coming alone is exactly what MORN. Events is made for.
Yes. Guesthouse, apartment, hostel, hotel: where you sleep doesn't matter. Being in Almaty at the same time does.
No. It's a meetup for travellers. People come for company, conversation and shared plans, and what grows from there belongs to them.
No. MORN. Events are meetups for English-speaking travellers, and everything happens in English.
MORN. Events is made for international travellers visiting Almaty. If you live here and want a community, Almaty's expat groups and language clubs are a great fit.
Every meetup is organised by MORN. at one of Almaty's well-known, beautiful spots, among other travellers.
Then you've spent an evening somewhere beautiful in Almaty among travellers who came to meet people. Stay as long as you like.
Yes. Our co-sharing board is built for that: post your date and split the car with travellers going the same way.
New dates go up regularly. Check back before your next free evening.
