A budget-friendly adventure through Kazakhstan's cities, mountains, canyons, and alpine lakes.
Small group. Big adventure. Great value.
Every stop on this route is genuinely worth the trip on its own. Together, they make for one remarkable journey.
The modern face of Kazakhstan. Astana is one of the world's most architecturally ambitious capitals with the most beautiful sky.
Burabay one of Kazakhstan’s most beautiful destinations, with over 140 lakes, crystal-clear waters, pine forests and scenic mountains.
Kazakhstan’s former capital and largest city, nestled at the foot of the Tian Shan Mountains. The city blends vibrant culture and modern life with breathtaking mountain landscapes.
Kazakhstan's red-rock masterpiece. Often compared to the Grand Canyon, Charyn's Valley of Castles features towering red walls carved by centuries of wind and water.
Turquoise lakes in the Tian Shan. Three stacked alpine lakes connected by forest trails. The water is impossibly clear and the mountain scenery is breathtaking at every turn.
The lake with a forest beneath the water. Kaindy was formed by an earthquake in 1911. Submerged spruce trunks still stand above the surface — one of Central Asia's most iconic sights.
