What to do and see in Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan: The Best Things to do Good for Couples
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.

We stayed near Kolsay Lake at Gostevoy Dom Alikhan in Kurmeti village. The lake is as beautiful as any in Europe without too many tourists. There re a small number of restaurants having delicious Kazakh dishes.The very friendly family who runs that hotel arranged for a horse ride to the lake. We even drank some tasty Kurmiss (fermented horse milk) at the lake.

It was two incredible days on tour to Altyn emel national park. Be prepared for the long driving. On the first day we drove 500 km, but it's worth it! Spectacular view of Aktau mountains I've never seen before. Landscape remind me the planets from the Star wars movie. If you traveling around Central Asia you must visit this place!

The architecture of theatre is fantastic. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The artists of theatre are great professional. But there is something wrong with dress code.
6. Lake Kaindy

Reviewed By darjanb2017
We visited Kaindy lake in September 2018. We rented a driver in Saty (our host knew somebody) and I think that was the best choice ever, because the road to the lake is very difficult to drive by yourself if you don't have experience with driving off-road and you also need to have big jeep for that road. Our driver knew road very well and he made the drive a part of the attraction. The Kaindy lake is very beautiful. We walked around the lake for around three hours, you can also take horses to go around. I thing that this is attraction that you must visit if you are in Kazakhstan, because this lake is 100 years old and there is no like it nowhere near around. The trees in the water are really something special.

9. Friendly Tours - Dostar Trips
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 88 reviews
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!
