Hiking to the Bogdanovich Glacier is one of the best and most affordable ways to visit glaciers in 1 day from Almaty. Starting in the morning from the city, you reach an altitude of 3200 meters above sea level by cable car. This significantly reduces the approach time and allows you to move deeper into the glacier. The route is also available in winter - it is in the cold season that you can visit the ice cave, which has become popular in recent years - it is also called Oktyabrskaya.
