Things to do in Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan: The Best Photography Tours

January 22, 2022 Florencio Paulino

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.

Hard to find words describing how beautiful are these places: Charyn Canyon “Valley of the Castles”, and Moon (Yellow) Canyon. I went there during winter with a very professional guide from KazGuideTour, and everything was absolutely perfect: no crowd, no heat, beautiful sun, nice layer of snow on the rock, and wonderful undisturbed wildlife!
