Our recent trip to Kazakhstan was truly unforgettable. This beautiful, diversified country gives one so many things-from fantastic landscapes to rich cultural heritage that actually captivated us. Every moment felt like adventure, and every nook of the country had something new to tell. Let's have a look at our journey and why Kazakhstan is on your travel list.

Kazakhstan: Discovering Stunning Sceneries
The natural beauty of Kazakhstan is something we have never seen in such a long time. Being one of the biggest countries in the world, it has its own share of breathtaking landscapes to marvel at. As one of the largest countries in the world, it boasts a variety of landscapes that are simply breathtaking. Our trip took us through towering mountains, vast steppes, and serene lakes, each with its own unique charm.

One of the highlights was visiting the beautiful Almaty region, which surrounded us with snow-capped mountains. Those majestic peaks and lush green valleys felt straight out of  a fairy tale. We also spent time exploring the steppes –the vast open grassy areas of Kazakhstan are in reality its rugged and endless beauty. It was amazing to see the diversity of the country’s landscapes, from deserts to forests, all in one place.

Lake Kaindy was another unforgettable spot. This underwater forest, with trees submerged in crystal-clear waters, is both surreal and enchanting. Walking by the lake's edge, walking and really being in a fantasy world, surrounded by nature, all made it too silent and beautiful to be described.
The culture of Kazakhstan is a great mix of both old and new influences. Indeed, the cities were modern with all forms of modern architecture and boisterous cafes. However, it still put forth deep connections with traditions and customs. We enjoyed the way that the country infused its deep history into the forward-looking spirit.

Another great experience that we encountered were interactions with the locals. This was definitely one of the best parts of the trip. Being a hospitality country, everywhere we went was welcoming. Starting from locals with bright smiles on their faces, selling everything in markets, to our warm hosts, people were always ready to tell stories about their culture and history. Indeed, we even tried some traditional Kazakh dishes - Beshbarmak: big noodle and meat dish, and kurt: a particularly tasty dried cheese snack. The food was very savory and reminiscent of the gastronomic traditions of the country.

I read that the nomadic traditions of Kazakhstan are impressive. The time has changed, but in culture, importance is still to this day much concerning the rural folk. We can see the yurts everywhere, illustrating Kazakhstan's heritage, dedicated to the resourceful and resilient Kazakh. Knowing their culture and style enlightened us on how wonderful the country is.

A Great Mix of Adventure and Leisure
Our trip to Kazakhstan appeared to me as the ideal combination of adventure and rest. Weather we were hiking in the mountains or strolling through local markets, every day promised us something new and interesting. In our days we wandered and discovered many things, and in the evenings we were often thinking over impressions of the day with a cup of tea or dinner over a local menu. There was a kind of peaceful, poised feeling over the entire trip, making it simple to relax and get in touch with the places we visited.
