"Culture, farming, and nature in southern Kazakhstan"
This tour is the perfect blend of Kazakhstan's culture, nature, and traditions. Over four days, you'll discover the country's diversity: from modern and creative Almaty to the quiet mountain town of Tekeli and the majestic Burkhan-Bulak Waterfall.
You'll stroll through Almaty's art spaces and cozy embankments, discover historical monuments and legends dating back to the 15th century, and travel to the most picturesque corners of the Dzungarian Alatau. You'll visit family-run organic farms, sample organic produce, learn how to make cheese, and immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of rural life.
The highlight of the program is the ethnographic day: you'll be welcomed in a traditional Kazakh village, where you'll enjoy horse shows, national games, baursak-making workshops, and a kumys (traditional Kazakh milk) tasting. The tour concludes with a relaxing break on the shores of Lake Issyk and an evening stroll through Almaty.
This tour is designed for those who want to see all of Kazakhstan in a short time – from contemporary art to nomadic culture, from bustling cities to tranquil nature.
