Kazakhstan Ski & Snow
A Kazakhstan ski week — lift pass, gear and instruction sorted.
Starting from
₹74,999 / person
Overview
Kazakhstan in winter is a different country. This 5-night ski week puts you on the snow from day one — lift pass, boot fitting and hire gear all sorted before you arrive — with 4★ ski-in / ski-out where available beds and an instructor for whoever wants one. Non-skiers still get Shymbulak ski resort & cable car and Big Almaty Lake on the rest days.
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★ ski-in / ski-out where available hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹74,999 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. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

“Fantastic solo travel. The Almaty package was customised to our dates and budget, the 4★ ski-in / ski-out where available were lovely, and they even rebooked one activity when the weather changed. Five stars.”
