Kazakhstan is the world’s ninth-largest country in the world. As you would expect from such a large landmass, the geography of the country differs greatly from area to area. The northern parts of the country are predominantly steppe, the central desert, and the southern mountains. The country shares its borders with Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and the Caspian Sea. It is considered part of Central Asia and was an important route as part of the ancient Silk Road.

This country is an adventure tourist’s dream. Almaty in the south is home to Central Asia’s premier mountain resort with skiing, snowboarding, and hiking all possible at different times of the year. For lovers of history and architecture, the cities provide a stunning glimpse of the past from the caravans of the Silk Road to more modern Soviet times.
