Kazakhstan Tours

Few countries feel as wide open as Kazakhstan. Tours here cross the steppe between Almaty and Astana, climb into the Tien Shan and drop into the red walls of the Charyn Canyon. Pick a short city break or a longer Central Asian adventure.

Timing a Steppe Crossing

Kazakhstan runs to real extremes, with winters far below freezing and summer heat past 35 degrees on the plains. May, June and September are the dependable months for mixed itineraries, and autumn colors the Tien Shan valleys above Almaty.

South Along the Silk Road

Turkistan holds the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, a UNESCO-listed Timurid monument from the 1390s, while nearby Otrar marks a ruined caravan city. These sites tie Kazakhstan into the wider Central Asia circuit toward Uzbekistan.

Landscapes Past the Cities

Red-walled Charyn, the singing dune of Altyn-Emel National Park and the Kolsai and Kaindy lakes supply the country's outdoor headline acts, most of them reached on multi-day loops out of Almaty.
