Discover Kazhakstan's Natural Beauty and Modern Charm

As one of the world’s largest countries, Kazhakstan treats visitors to an abundance of marvellous landscapes and impressively crafted cities. Its capital, Astana is a showcase of eye-catching, futuristic architecture, with the Bayterek viewing tower, pyramid-shaped Palace of Peace and Reconciliation Khan Shatyr Entertainment Centre among its most distinctive offerings. The equally impressive city of Almaty is lined with leafy avenues, independent restaurants and bustling shopping and nightlife destinations. Ascend Kok-Tobe hill by cable car and gaze down upon the city, or take a short journey to experience the exceptional beauty of Big Almaty Lake. Closely rivalling the magnificence of the lake is the breathtaking Charyn Canyon, where natural erosion has created an extraordinary landscape that's well worth a visit.

Marvel at the Crystal Waters of Big Almaty Lake

One of Kazhakstan’s most picturesque destinations, Big Almaty Lake treats visitors to almost unbelievably vibrant turquoise waters, surrounded by areas of natural beauty. Situated just outside the city of Almaty within the Ili-Alatau National Park, this awe-inspiring alpine lake creates fairytale surroundings thanks to its location high up in the Ili Alatau mountains. The striking backdrop of three towering peaks further enhances the lake's magical atmosphere. Swimming is forbidden due to Almaty's importance as a local water source, but be sure to follow the array of hiking trails.
Admire Almaty from Kok-Tobe Hill

Offering unmatched panoramic views of Almaty, Kok-Tobe Hill is the city’s highest point standing at 1100 metres tall. As well as being an exceptional viewpoint, Kok-Tobe hill is also home to the world's tallest TV tower, along with a small amusement park. Reach the hill's summit by cable car and watch the city get smaller as you ascend. Visit during the day and gaze down upon the bustle below, or take a trip after sunset and admire Almaty illuminated with lights as far as the eye can see.
Enjoy Winter Sports at the Medeu Skating Rink and Shymbulak Ski Resort

This exceptionally located alpine sports complex is nestled in a picturesque canyon 1691 metres above sea level. As such, its Olympic-sized Medeu Skating Rink has earned the accolade of the world’s highest ice rink and makes for a truly memorable skating experience. Nearby, you'll find the Shymbulak Ski Resort in the upper Medeu Valley, nestled amongst the Zaiilisky Alatau mountain range. The resort’s generous winter snowfall and mild, sunny climate create the perfect conditions for enjoying an array of winter sports.
Charyn Canyon: A Breathtaking Natural Landmark

The Charyn Canyon is located in the Charyn National Park, interrupting the wide, open plains that stretch far into the horizon. Earning the nickname ‘the Grand Canyon’s Little Brother’, the erosion caused by the river below has shaped the Charyn Canyon’s red sandstone into an impressive natural wonder that dates back millions of years. Be sure to visit The Valley of Castles, where pillars and rock formations assume a commanding presence. Explore on foot or take an off-road jeep tour for an adrenaline-filled way to explore this impressive landmark.
