Variation in South Kazakhstan

Full day programRequest offer free of engagementBook this trip

This adventurous round tour gives a good picture of life in South Kazakhstan and its nature. In addition to beautiful nature you will enjoy historic cities (and remains of them) and a mausuleum of the Silk Road. On the way you will stay in tents and small family guest houses (and sometimes in a hotel).

In contrast with this you will visit the lively former capital Almaty AND the extravagant new capital Astana, with its grand new architecture.
