travel to kazakhstan

Traveling to Kazakhstan is a real adventure, full of amazing natural landscapes, the hospitality of local residents and the variety of tastes of national cuisine. This country, located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has absorbed the influences of a variety of cultural and religious movements. For millennia, this land was inhabited by nomads grazing cattle in the spacious valleys near the rivers and among the picturesque foothills.

    In literal translation, the word “Kazakh” means “free man”, which means that Kazakhstan is a country of freedom-loving people who live in peace with their neighbors and are proud of their history. As a separate state, the Republic of Kazakhstan appeared on the geopolitical map of the world in 1991, after the collapse of the USSR. However, for many centuries the Kazakh people cultivated their own unique values, followed the traditions accepted since ancient times, nurtured their cuisine, music, folk dances... local life.
