Summary
A varied and unique journey with rich history, culture and stunning landscapes
Kazakhstan was the land of the Saka and many other famous tribes – home of many glorious cities and nomadic empires in the past, as well as the scene of bloody and devasting wars. From its early beginnings, this large land in the middle of Eurasia lay at the junction of Silk Roads and housed a multitude of cultures both sedentary and nomadic. By the 15th century the first Khanates appeared, hinting at the single political entity that the country would become. Kazakhstan presents a majestic landscape – high mountains, green valleys, lake-dotted steppe, western deserts and remote underground mosques … and affluent cities. Join us on a varied and unique journey – passing through the lands of the ancient residents of Kazakhstan, and tour wild steppes where nomads lived in harmony with nature.
