Kazakhstan
Being the largest of the Central Asian Republics, Kazakhstan
is a country full of contrasts. With its southern capital
Almaty being by far the most advanced city in the region
and a proud semi-nomadic people inhabiting its infinite
steppe lands, most of the country remains yet to be discovered
by the foreign visitor.
Some of the most exciting features in Kazakhstan accessible
to travellers include the Charyn
Canyon, also referred to as Kazakhstan's Grand
Canyon, the mountainous peaks of the Tien Shan with tremendous
trekking hiking possibilities, and a fascinating heritage
of arts and craftsmanship as well as the famed Eagle hunting
and the famed buskashi horse games.
 Largely
being considered a transit country between Uzbekistan
and Kyrgyzstan or China and despite a rather well developed
travelling infrastructure, so far Kazakhstan has received
far less attention by its visitors than it deserves.
Please excuse us while some parts of the Kazakhstan section
of our website are still under construction. |
