Use the destination pages below to compare landscapes and places to visit. Allow time for travel between regions when planning your route.

Choosing places to visit in Kazakhstan

Start with the part of Kazakhstan you want to explore. In the southeast, compare Charyn Canyon, Kolsai and Kaindy lakes, Altyn-Emel, Big Almaty Lake, Assy Plateau and Tamgaly. Open each destination page to compare landscapes and walking options, then discuss which stops fit your travel dates and interests.

For western Kazakhstan, explore Mangystau, where chalk cliffs, salt flats and desert formations shape a different journey. Bozzhyra, Tuzbair, Torysh, Beket-Ata and Sherkala are listed in this guide. Plan the connections between regions, travel time and transport before booking.
