Kazakhstan Tours & Holidays

Small Group Tours & Tailor-Made Holidays

The world's largest landlocked country, Kazakhstan is a destination of breathtaking scale and extraordinary diversity — a vast territory stretching from the Caspian Sea in the west to the snow-capped Tian Shan mountains in the east, encompassing endless steppe grasslands, ancient Silk Road cities, dramatic desert canyons and some of the most remote wilderness in all of Asia. It is a country that rewards the curious and the adventurous in equal measure.

Kazakhstan's nomadic heritage runs deep — this is a land where the yurt, the horse and the tradition of generous hospitality have defined culture for millennia, and where that tradition remains vibrantly alive in the rural communities of the steppe and the high mountain pastures of the south and east. Yet Kazakhstan is also a country of surprising modernity — its futuristic capital Astana rises from the steppe like a vision of the 21st century, a city of extraordinary architectural ambition.

At Asian Geographical, our Central Asia specialists craft tailor-made Kazakhstan holidays and small group tours that capture the full sweep of this remarkable country. From the ancient mausoleums of the southern Silk Road cities and the dramatic Charyn Canyon to the high-altitude lakes of the Tian Shan and the remote petroglyphs of the Altai, we design Kazakhstan itineraries that go far beyond the capital and reveal a destination of genuine depth and wonder.

Kazakhstan Highlights

KAZAKHSTAN STEPPE AND NOMADIC CULTURE: The great Eurasian steppe — the sea of grass that stretches across Kazakhstan for thousands of kilometres — is the ancestral homeland of nomadic culture and one of the world's most extraordinary natural landscapes. Staying in a traditional yurt, participating in an eagle hunting demonstration and learning the ancient traditions of Kazakh horsemanship offer an immersive encounter with a way of life that has shaped this vast country for thousands of years.

CHARYN CANYON KAZAKHSTAN: Often compared to a miniature Grand Canyon, the Charyn Canyon in southeastern Kazakhstan is one of the most dramatic natural landscapes in Central Asia — a 90-kilometre gorge of sculpted red sandstone cliffs and pinnacles rising 300 metres above the Charyn River. The Valley of Castles section, where erosion has created extraordinary rock formations of surreal beauty, is accessible on a day trip from Almaty and never fails to astonish.

TIAN SHAN MOUNTAINS AND LAKES: The northern Tian Shan range forms a dramatic backdrop to Kazakhstan's former capital Almaty — a wall of snow-capped peaks rising to over 5,000 metres just south of the city. The Ile-Alatau National Park offers superb alpine trekking, while the high-altitude jewel of Big Almaty Lake shimmers at 2,511 metres in a glacial cirque of extraordinary beauty. Further east, the Kolsai Lakes and Kaindy Lake — where a drowned forest of silver birch trunks emerges from the turquoise water — are among the finest natural sights in Kazakhstan.

KAZAKHSTAN SILK ROAD HERITAGE: Long before its steppe nomads captured the world's imagination, Kazakhstan was a vital corridor of the ancient Silk Road — and the southern cities of Turkestan, Taraz and Shymkent preserve remarkable traces of this heritage. The 14th-century Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkestan — a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site of extraordinary scale and beauty — is the greatest single monument in Kazakhstan and one of the finest examples of Timurid architecture in Central Asia.

ASTANA MODERN ARCHITECTURE: Rising from the flat steppe of northern Kazakhstan, Astana — the purpose-built capital — is one of the most architecturally ambitious cities in the world, a futuristic urban landscape of Norman Foster's transparent pyramid, the soaring Baiterek tower and the spectacular Khan Shatyr entertainment centre. Whatever one thinks of its aesthetic, Astana is a genuinely fascinating urban spectacle that reveals much about Kazakhstan's extraordinary ambitions for its post-Soviet future.

KAZAKHSTAN EAGLE HUNTING TRADITION: The ancient art of berkutchi — hunting with golden eagles — is one of the most dramatic and distinctive traditions of the Kazakh nomadic world, a practice that has been passed down through generations of eagle hunters for over 4,000 years. Witnessing a berkutchi work with his eagle in the mountains of eastern Kazakhstan — the bird swooping from a rider's gauntleted fist across a snowy mountain landscape — is one of the most viscerally thrilling experiences Central Asia has to offer.

Kazakhstan Regions

    ALMATY AND THE TIAN SHAN FOOTHILLS: Kazakhstan's largest city and cultural capital sits beneath the spectacular Tian Shan range — a vibrant, green city of wide boulevards, excellent restaurants and a sophisticated café culture that belies its Soviet origins. The surrounding mountains offer superb day trips — to the Medeu skating rink, the Shymbulak ski resort and the stunning Big Almaty Lake — while the Central State Museum and the colourful Green Bazaar provide absorbing introductions to Kazakh culture.

    CHARYN CANYON AND SOUTHEASTERN KAZAKHSTAN: The spectacular landscapes of southeastern Kazakhstan reward those who venture beyond Almaty. The Charyn Canyon offers some of the most dramatic desert scenery in Central Asia, while the Kolsai Lakes — a series of three alpine lakes connected by forest trails — and the extraordinary Kaindy Lake, with its ghostly drowned forest, make this one of the most visually compelling regions in the country for trekking and nature travel.

    TURKESTAN AND THE SOUTHERN SILK ROAD: Southern Kazakhstan preserves the country's most significant Silk Road heritage. The UNESCO-listed Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkestan is the centrepiece — a vast monument of Timurid architecture that draws pilgrims and travellers alike. The ancient city of Taraz, the medieval caravan city of Otrar and the subterranean mosque of Shakpak-Ata in the Mangystau region complete a southern itinerary of remarkable historical depth.

    ASTANA AND THE NORTHERN STEPPE: Kazakhstan's futuristic capital rises incongruously from the flat northern steppe — a city of extraordinary architectural ambition that has become one of Central Asia's most fascinating urban spectacles. The EXPO 2017 site, the Khan Shatyr centre and the Baiterek tower are the headline sights, but the surrounding steppe offers a complete contrast — an immensity of open grassland where traditional Kazakh life continues largely unchanged.

    ALTAI MOUNTAINS AND EASTERN KAZAKHSTAN: The remote Altai region of eastern Kazakhstan — where the borders of Russia, China and Mongolia converge — is one of the last truly wild places in Central Asia, a landscape of ancient petroglyphs, glacial rivers and snow-capped peaks of extraordinary beauty. The East Kazakhstan region is the homeland of the Kazakh eagle hunters, and the traditional culture of its communities — including the spectacular Golden Man burial site near Esik — is among the most authentic in the country.

    MANGYSTAU AND THE CASPIAN DESERT: The Mangystau region in western Kazakhstan is one of the most surreal and otherworldly landscapes in all of Asia — a vast desert plateau of sculpted chalk cliffs, underground mosques carved into the rock and ancient Sufi necropoli rising from the bare earth. The Valley of Balls near Torysh, where hundreds of perfectly spherical stone concretions litter the steppe, and the Bozzhira canyon system are among Central Asia's most extraordinary and least-visited natural wonders.

WEATHER IN Kazakhstan

The best time to visit Kazakhstan is from May to June and September to October, when conditions are milder and ideal for steppe landscapes, cities, canyons, lakes and mountain scenery. Summers can be hot on the plains, while winters are very cold, especially across the north and east.

  • Kazakhstan experiences a sharply continental climate, with stark contrasts between seasons and substantial variation across regions. The vastness of the country, the world's ninth-largest, means that the weather can differ significantly from area to area.
  • In the north, where cities like Astana are located, winters are long and bitterly cold, with temperatures frequently plummeting below -20°c, and sometimes reaching as low as -40°c. Snow cover is persistent and deep, lasting from November to late April. Summers, though brief, can be quite warm, with July temperatures averaging around 20°c.
  • Contrastingly, the southern regions, including Almaty, enjoy milder winters, where temperatures rarely fall below -10°c, and significantly hotter summers, with temperatures often exceeding 30°c. This area also experiences more precipitation, particularly in the mountainous regions around Almaty, which are popular for hiking and skiing.
  • The western and central parts of Kazakhstan are characterised by arid and semi-arid climates, with extremely hot summers and cold winters, while the Caspian Sea coast experiences milder weather, with less extreme temperatures due to the moderating influence of the sea.
  • The best time to visit Kazakhstan largely depends on your intended activities. For trekking and exploring the mountains, late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) offer the most favourable weather conditions. These periods avoid the summer heat and the harsh winter cold, while still providing enough daylight. Winter sports enthusiasts should consider visiting from December to February when the snow is plentiful.
