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.

Itinerary

From the gleaming towers of Astana to the tranquil alleyways of Bishkek, the Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan Adventure offers an unforgettable 11-day tour for those eager to explore Central Asia’s contrasts. This small group journey takes in the futuristic architecture of Kazakhstan’s capital, then sweeps south to the ancient Silk Road ruins of Otrar and the grand Yasaui Mausoleum, immersing you in centuries-old history and culture.

The adventure continues as you trace a dramatic transition in landscapes—from endless steppe to winding mountain passes. In Almaty, Kazakhstan’s cultural soul, you’ll soak up urban energy before heading into nature’s embrace. An invigorating hike around the breathtaking Kolsai Lakes reveals sunken forests and dramatic canyons, while a scenic boat trip across Issyk-Kul Lake showcases alpine vistas that seem almost untouched by time.

With city sightseeing as the core activity, this moderately active tour is ideal for travelers looking for a blend of urban exploration and outdoor adventure. Local guides enrich the experience with their insight, and the thoughtfully planned route ensures a balance of comfort, discovery, and activity.

Unique to this tour is its ability to seamlessly blend the ancient and the modern, the cosmopolitan and the wild—making it perfect for those who crave both cultural highlights and natural wonders in one comprehensive trip package.
