It is not necessary to search the entire world for fascinating traditions, beautiful and pristine nature or a delicate mixture of old and modern – just visit Kazakhstan!
Is Kazakhstan part of Asia? Or is it part of Europe? This is a unique feature of Kazakhstan in that it combines Asian and European identities and defines its vision of this combination in the concept of Eurasian identity.
Located between Europe and Asia, the Republic of Kazakhstan is the ninth largest country in the world. It is the former Soviet Republic which gained independence in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Kazakhstan is a country that has gathered in all the variety of landscapes that exist on the planet, a country with a rich historical and cultural past, which has become home to many people and known for its friendliness and hospitality.
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure you will never forget!Why you should visit Kazakhstan:
- Once an important part of the ancient Silk Road trade route, Kazakhstan today is one of the most overlooked Central Asian destinations. Its stunning natural attractions are incredibly diverse, yet they are not widely known. The world’s 9th largest country stretches across 1.1 million square miles of snow-capped mountains, deep canyons, vast swaths of steppes, and arid deserts of Central Asia. The nature is crazy here! Add to this the ability to explore an ancient nomadic culture, try foods you wouldn’t normally eat, and visit the city of the future and it’s clear: Kazakhstan deserves an extended stopover on a Central Asian adventure.
- Traditional dishes – are everything. Eating horse meat is not a taboo here, in fact, it is considered healthier than beef or lamb and is reserved for special occasions. The first-known domestication of horses is thought to have occurred in this area around 6,000 BC.
- The country is so multicultural with so many different religions without any issues, because the people are so accepting of others. You will feel very welcome everywhere you go.
- Kazakhstan is actually the most economically developed country of the five Central Asian countries. This is mostly because of the oil that is found in the country. Now, of course this isn’t necessarily a reason to visit a country, but with the development comes a bit of comfort. Such as trendy restaurants, good hotels and crazy nightlife!
- It’s perfect for budget travelers!
