Overview

Kazakhstan is full of barren beauty. With countryside as far as the eye can see, it’s somewhere those seeking isolation can feel in their element. Situated at the foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains, Almaty is the largest city and home to chic shopping centres, vibrant nightlife and innovative architecture. There’s also a healthy dose of museums and parks, with scenic hikes and skiing available in the adjacent mountains.

 

Highlights:

(Mountain Resort Oi-Qaragai, Panfilov Promenade & Arbat, Issyk Lake, Almarasan George, Falcon Show, Panfiov Park & Zenkov Cathedral, KokeTobe Hill, Shymbulak Ski resort, Green Bazaar + Rakhat Chocolate Shop)
