Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan | Map of Kazakhstan

The area that forms part of present day Kazakhstan was conquered by Russia in the 18th century. One of largest countries of the world in terms of area, Kazakhstan became a Soviet Republic in 1936. As a result of the influx of the Soviets into the land the indigenous Kazakhs, a mix of Turkic and Mongol nomadic tribes, were outnumbered.

The country is inhabited by the Kazakhs, a mix of Turkic and Mongol nomadic tribes. When Kazakhstan was ceded by Soviet Union, many of these immigrants left the country. The country has recently emerged as a big economy thanks to its vast mineral resources. Political stability is also the hallmark of the country.

Kazakhstan has a varied landscape ranging from the mountainous to the fertile land.

Travel overview
Kazakhstan's landscape is as varied as it is beautiful: amidst the steep forested foothills of the Kungey Alatau, the Kol-Say Lakes provide stunning scenery and opportunities for camping and trout fishing.

The 4000m high Zailiysky Alatau, with its glaciated peaks, wild rivers and steep valleys rises from a natural environment of unmatched beauty. A hugely rewarding place to travel, it is ideal for hiking.

Almatinsky Nature Reserve is also well worth a visit for its rugged beauty. Those in search of spiritualism should head towards the Kozha Akhmed Yasaui Mausoleum built in memory of the famous Sufi teacher. The Tian Shan range at Kazakhstan's northern part makes for some beautiful scenery.
