6 Hidden Gems Things to do in Kazakhstan That You Shouldn't Miss
Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан, translit. Qazaqstan, IPA: [qɑzɑqˈstɑn] ( listen); Russian: Казахстан, IPA: [kəzɐxˈstan]), officially the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасы, translit. Qazaqstan Respýblıkasy; Russian: Республика Казахстан, tr. Respublika Kazakhstan), is the world's largest landlocked country, and the ninth largest in the world, with an area of 2,724,900 square kilometres (1,052,100 sq mi). Kazakhstan is the dominant nation of Central Asia economically, generating 60% of the region's GDP, primarily through its oil/gas industry. It also has vast mineral resources. Some argue that Kazakhstan may be considered a European country because Kazakhstan's Western region is on the European continent and meets the Council of Europe's criteria for European inclusion.

If you are visiting Almaty, take a day to visit the spectacular Charyn Gorge. About a two hour drive East of Almaty towards China to the Charyn national park,the area is surrounded by fantastic mountainous scenery. The walk down the gorge to the river is spectacular. Take plenty of water and sun screen as it is exposed and even in September it was hot. You can hire a guide in Almaty who will tell you everything you need to know about the region. Our party was three adults and Kanat, our guide. He was wonderful, cooking shashlyk for us and making our trip memorable. Very reasonably priced too. Also took us to Big Almaty Lake on a separate trip. A brilliant day.

Good organization of the tour. Our guide Rifat showed us the most beautiful places of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. We were amazed by the beauty of Central Asia and the hospitality of the locals. We advise everyone to visit Central Asia and use the services of Kazakhstan Journey .

It all started back in 2016 when we printed out our first edition of Friendly Map for guests of Almaty and offered our tours at the back side of the map. Suddenly we started to have a good amount of calls and messages and we decided to start a tour company. We didn’t think a lot about the name – Friendly Tours as a next step after Friendly Map! 2020 brought a lot of time to think and reflect, we loved our name and our guests did too but we always wanted to add a bit of authenticity and here we go – our name changed a bit: Dostar Trips! “Dostar” means friends from Kazakh language, so our main idea didn’t change at all – we always meet our guests as our best future friends! Honestly, we think what can be better than to meet people from all over the world and show them best places of our country? Best job ever! We would do it for free but if we are paid – wohoo, even better!
