Kazakhstan Tours

It’s probably the biggest country in the world that people know almost nothing about. Much of Kazakhstan is covered in wide open steppes, where the odd run-down town serves the gas and oil industry and a rocket launch-site for the Russian space agency.

In the south, however, in areas bordering Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan tours will reveal a very different landscape. Mountains rise up with green pastures and flower meadows, gorges and lakes. This region also encompasses one of the branches of the historic Silk Road across Asia, while the country’s biggest city, Almaty, is more akin to its European counterparts than Asian ones thanks to leafy boulevards and a café culture. Holidays to Kazakhstan definitely offer the curious traveller a lot more than Borat would have us believe.

This is a fast paced holiday, with lots of places to be and even more things to see. Every day brings new wonders. Our whole, lovely group, said that they had taken far more photos than they had expected to. The scenery, especially in Kyrgyzstan, is awesome. The buildings, and statues, are built on an epic scale. Countryside, cityscape, desert landscape, lakes this holiday has it all. One of our group summed it up “Before I came people asked me “Where? Why on earth would you go there?” Now I would reply “why on earth wouldn’t you”. There are long drive (with plenty of stops) and early starts but that’s what allows you to see so much. The train rides in Uzbekistan added to the feel of adventure. I’m in my sixties, and I like my sleep, I certainly never expected to actually enjoy being woken in the middle of the night to travel to the station, catch a sleeper train and back to sleep for three hours! When I woke I was in the middle of a desert, with a glorious red sunrise shining across the land and it was stunning. If you’re thinking about this holiday then book it asap. Oh and the food in all three countries was fantastic.

Sarah Gray The Silk Road

The Silk road tour offered everything I expected and more. From the alpine scenery in Kyrgyzstan to the deserts of Uzbekistan, each day was a new adventure with something new to experience. Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan seemed untouched by mass tourism and even Uzbekistan was fairly quiet compared to other destinations I’ve visited previously. Hotels were good quality with a variety of room types and location, included meals were all of a high standard and the guides were excellent.
There were plenty of WOW moments throughout this itinerary.
