Escape the 40°C heat! Experience a fairy-tale summer at 19°C in Bayanbulak

While heatwaves🌊 sweep across the country, I'm snuggling in a light down jacket🧥 at Bayanbulak Castle Hotel! With an average summer temperature of just 19°C, air conditioning? Completely unnecessary—open the window🪟 to natural "air conditioning" from snow-capped mountains🏔️ and grasslands, where even fans become decorations!
