November 3, 2021 Deane Carmody

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.

I truly recommend SUV tour. Everything was well organized. The guide Chingiz was professional, friendly and flexible to our needs. Ww were not properly equipped for the long trekking and the guide proposed us an alternative itinerary which was amazing as well.

Charyn Canyon National Park is the most famous natural sight of Kazakhstan. We will visit its WELL-known part among the tourists called Valley of Castles because of its unordinary shape. Within the tour, you will observe “the Martian” views of the Charyn Canyon. The Castle Valley is also called a “small brother” of Grand Canyon in Colorado because of its similarity, although it is much smaller. On the way to Charyn Canyon we will visit road market in Baiseiyt village. After the short walk in road market, we will have a stop at the Enormous Soviet project, which is still successfully operating, Bartogai artificial lake.
