Almaty to Astana – 18 Days
Experience the vast beauty and cultural richness of Central Asia on The Ultimate Kazakhstan Wild Adventure. The vast steppes are a defining feature of Kazakhstan's scenery, offering endless horizons and a sense of unspoiled wilderness. This 18-day group journey takes you through the country’s most dramatic and diverse landscapes — from the alpine lakes of Kolsay and Kaindy to the towering dunes of Altyn-Emel and the deep canyons of Charyn and Aksu. Throughout the trip, you will encounter stunning landscapes that showcase the breath-taking natural beauty of this remarkable country. Along the way, uncover Kazakhstan’s nomadic traditions, explore Silk Road ruins, and witness the striking contrasts between its ancient heritage and modern cities like Almaty and Astana.
Designed for curious travellers seeking nature, history, and immersive experiences, this adventure includes wildlife encounters, camel rides, desert trekking, and spiritual sites. Explore ancient petroglyphs, sleep in mountain guesthouses, and gain insights into Kazakhstan’s environmental efforts at the Aral Sea. As tourism in Kazakhstan continues to develop, this journey offers unique opportunities to experience its authentic culture and remote wilderness. With expert guides, comfortable transport, and thoughtfully chosen accommodation, this is the most complete way to discover Kazakhstan’s wild beauty and timeless culture — with Asian Geographical, the leading designer of luxury travel to Asia. We invite you to visit Kazakhstan and experience its extraordinary natural and cultural wonders for yourself.

Visit ancient mausoleums, catacombs, and ruined settlements that reveal Kazakhstan’s deep cultural roots and architectural heritage, with expert guides bringing the region’s Islamic, nomadic, and trading history to life.
KAZAKHSTAN’S LAKES, CANYONS & DESERT LANDSCAPES: Marvel at the natural beauty of Kaindy Lake, Kolsay Lakes, and Charyn Canyon.

Hike through Ile Alatau National Park, located close to Almaty, and enjoy its diverse hiking opportunities. Trek through Altyn-Emel’s colourful mountains and visit the surreal singing sand dunes, a unique natural phenomenon.

Today is dedicated to the spiritual and cultural heart of Turkestan. Visit the architectural complex with the famous Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, underground mosque, old bathhouses and a museum telling the story of the region.

As the train crosses the steppe, prepare for the next part of your journey: the Aral Sea.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Arrive in Aralsk, once a busy fishing port now left dry by the shrinking Aral Sea. Visit the ship graveyard where rusting boats sit on dry land, a sad reminder of the sea’s disappearance.
