Welcome to Kazakhstan -
Full range of services for organizing tours and excursions throughout Kazakhstan -
Kazakhstan is one of the few countries in the world where mountains, seas, deserts, canyons, forests, glaciers and the seashore can be seen within the same state.
Nature is the main attraction here – it shapes the travel routes themselves and creates the feeling of an expedition even on a short trip.
Kazakhstan has a huge natural heritage, including dozens of national parks and reserves, where rare animals and relict plants are protected. Tulips grow here, which gave rise to European varieties, and the wild Sievers apple tree, the ancestor of all apples in the world. These territories have become the basis of ecological and sightseeing tourism in the country.
