HIGHLIGHTS
- See Kazakhstan – a place truly off the beaten track that sees few foreign travellers, especially outside Astana and Almaty. For much of this trip, you’ll truly feel the remoteness of Central Asia.
- Witness incredible scenery at every turn – marvel at the sight of the little 'Grand Canyon' at Charyn and see the beauty of the sunken forest in Kolsai Lakes.
- Discover the history and architecture of the Silk Road and uncover the charm of the legendary Turkistan.
- Travel alongside locals and admire wild, sweeping vistas on epic train rides across the Kazakh steppe.
- Go overland into Kyrgyzstan for a change of scene and hike the magnificent Jeti Oguz, explore Karakol and take a boat ride on the vast waters of the alpine Issyk-kul lake.
The "Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan Adventure" tour starts in Astana and ends in Bishkek. The "Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan Adventure" tour is a city sightseeing tour that takes 11 days taking you through Astana, Altyn-Emel National Park, Almaty, Bishkek and 6 other destinations in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. This is a guided small group tour that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.
See the contrast of the futuristic and the ancient on this 11-day journey from Astana to Bishkek. You’ll see the Central Asian landscape change from the vast expanse of flat countryside to winding mountain roads. Visit the Silk Road ruins of Otrar, stand in awe of the grand Yasaui Mausoleum, explore Astana’s monuments (that might remind you of Star Trek) and wander the cultural capital of Almaty. Hike the incredible Kolsai Lakes to see sunken forests, deep canyons and valleys and take a scenic boat ride on the alpine waters of Issky-kul Lake, bringing it home in charming Bishkek.
