Welcome to Kazakhstan - a wonderful country in the centre of Eurasia, where the features of Europe and Asia are harmoniously combined. In the ninth largest territory of the world tourists will find a lot of entertainment and attractions for family holidays and active recreation.
Its territory of 2,727,300 square kilometres is larger than Western Europe. It shares borders with Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan,
and Turkmenistan, and also adjoins a large part of the
Caspian Sea. The terrain of Kazakhstan includes flatlands, steppe, taiga, rock canyons, hills, deltas, snow-capped
mountains, and deserts. With 17 million people
Kazakhstan has the 62nd largest population in the world
The word “Almaty” in Kazakh people
language means “grown with apple
trees”. Apples were no doubt one of the
important commodities. Anyway, Alma-Ata city has been famous for
them to this day.
Sights

The Park is located in the southern part of Almaty and has a spectacular mountain
backdrop.At the southern end of the park there is a viewing and
seating area, with small shelters on raised mounds. There are no shops in the park, so you should take
drinks etc. with you, particularly on hot days.
Sharyn Canyon is an 80 km canyon in Kazakhstan on the Sharyn River 200 kilometres (120 mi) east of Almaty, close to the Chinese border.
Kolsay Lakes – one of the most beautiful places in Kazakhstan. These lakes are located at heights 1800, 2250 and 2700 metres above sea level. They are distinguished by the unique mountain watershed consisting of three natural zones and amazing variety of rare plants and animals.
If you were in Kazakhstan, but did not see the white Kazakh yurt on the green meadows of jaylyau, you can not feel and enjoy the real life of Kazakhs and their culture. Yurt is one of the oldest and greatest inventions of Eurasian nomads. At all times Yurt was a practical and convenient, portable accommodation.
Kazakh yurt
Kazakh cuisine Kazakh cuisine traditionally is
focused on mutton and horse meat, as well as various milk products. The cooking techniques and major ingredients have been strongly influenced by the nation's nomadic way of life. For example, most cooking techniques are aimed at long-term preservation of food. Kazakhstan cuisine includes not only traditional national Kazakhstan dishes but the best dishes of Uzbek, Russian, Tatar, Korean and other cookeries. That’s why Kazakh cuisine saving its national characteristic features has some international features.
Besbarmak, a dish consisting of boiled horse or mutton meat, is the most
popular Kazakh dish. It is also called "five fingers" because of the way it is eaten.
Besbarmak is usually eaten with a boiled pasta sheet, and a meat broth
called shorpa, and is traditionally served in Kazakh bowls called kese.
Baursaks are must-have food in every Kazakh family. Now, baursaks are not only cooked and eaten by the Kazakhs. Baursaks are served to tea, before main course, to mare’s milk (‘kumys’), to snacks, and to strong broth (‘sorpa’).
Most popular food
The traditional drinks are fermented mare's milk (kumys), camel's milk (shubat),cow’s milk (airan), and sheep's milkas well as its products, kaymak(sour cream), katyk or ayran (buttermilk),
