Overview

Planning Kazakhstan with kids (or grandparents) changes what a good itinerary looks like — shorter drives, earlier dinners, rooms that fit everyone. This 6-night family holiday paces Almaty · Charyn · Shymbulak around real families, with Shymbulak ski resort & cable car and Big Almaty Lake timed for when energy is highest.

Apr – Oct (skiing Dec – Mar) is the sweet spot for Kazakhstan (East & Central Asia), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 4★ hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹55,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Kazakhstan visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel.

Almaty was our first big trip and Explera made it stress-free — visa guidance, forex tips, a sensible day plan and a driver who knew the area. Came back with amazing memories and zero complaints.

★★★★★
Fantastic trip with kids. The Almaty package was customised to our dates and budget, the 4★ were lovely, and they even rebooked one activity when the weather changed. Five stars.

★★★★★
Great value for a 6-night Almaty trip. Clear communication before travel, GST invoice for our records, and genuine 24/7 support. This is how a holiday should be planned.
