Overview

Kazakhstan

Despite the debate around the film "Borat" in which a Kazak journalist goes to the United States for a report, Kazakhstan remains unknown to tourists. Whereas it is from here that the first man, the Russian Yuri Gargarine, went to space. This former soviet republic, independent since 1991, offers to curious tourists a lansdcape full of steppes stretching out over 1,240 miles. Formerly populated by nomadic tribes, Kazakhstan today has a real cultural identity. A country in the making?

pros

  •  Discover this unknown republic, which has been isolated within the Soviet block.
  •  This immense country enjoys varied landscapes, mainly uncountable steppes eastward and the Tien Shan and Altai mountains to the west-south-west.

cons

  •  Infrastructure similar to western designs is rare. It should be recalled that the country has known 70 years of communism and is still marked by its bureaucratic style.
  •  It is not possible to travel unaccompanied in the country if you are not adventurous.
  •  English is scarcely spoken.

Our Editorial team's advice

Go hiking in the Almaty mountain heights. Go ice-skating in Medeo, in the centre of a splendid mountain cirque. Forget yourself in the Almaty parks, especially that of Panfilov, where young couples come to celebrate their marriage surrounded by their families and friends. Close to Almaty, get further to the big cosmopolitan bazaar of Barakholka with its hundreds of containers filled with Chinese-imported products and products from the region. In Atyrau, walk along the Volga riverside, a romantic and family stroll much loved by the nationals.
