Alpine cable cars above Almaty, the red walls of Charyn Canyon and Big Almaty Lake.
Starting from
₹64,999 / person
Overview
Kazakhstan is the Central Asian surprise — Almaty sits beneath snow-capped peaks with cable cars running straight up to the Shymbulak ski slopes, the turquoise Big Almaty Lake is an hour from the city, and the red rock walls of Charyn Canyon rival the American southwest. Short flights and an easy visa make it a great-value break.
We arrange the visa, the 4x4 and driver-guide, the hotels and the mountain excursions, and can add Kolsai Lakes, Astana or an Uzbekistan Silk Road extension.
