As one of the fifteen
Soviet republics, Kazakhstan was often overlooked in
the past and visitors rarely left the capital city.
Now Almaty is a thriving metropolis, reminiscent once
more of its strategic position on the old Silk Road.
With the lifting of the shroud of communism a country
of rare and dramatic beauty has been revealed.
As the country is larger
than France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Sweden,
Norway and Finland combined, we are working hard to
bring you new and exciting experiences. Already we
take you across the mighty steppes to climb into the
Tien Shan Mountains and walk by the Great Almaty Lake.
The
adventurous will relish the challenge of a journey
by foot or on horseback across the snow-capped Kungey
Altau Mountain Range into neighbouring Kyrgyzstan.
But even this covers just one tiny corner of Kazakhstan
and there is so much more to discover.
