For cosmonauts staying on the International Space Station, Kazakhstan is the gateway to and from the Earth. That’s really something. Beyond the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the country boasts a vast Euro-Asian territory, oil, and a highly productive agricultural sector. It is a pillar of the CIS. Before all that, Kazakhs rode across immense steppe lands on horseback, living in yurts, driving their herds and keeping other riders in check. They still spill well beyond today’s borders. And don’t imagine Astana’s skyscrapers have erased that nomadic culture – it is still there, transposed. However, in this open country, where Russians are still very present, modern developments are appearing everywhere and are welcomed. Nevertheless, all heritage is carefully preserved: the Dalmatian pelicans of Saryarka and the extraordinary mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasavi (1093–1166) in Turkestan are even UNESCO World Heritage listed. Although not listed, the powerful Charyn Canyon, the almost Alpine lake of Kolsai and the singing dunes of Altyn Emel are no less beautiful or spectacular.

And as Voyageurs du Monde standards require, your stay in Kazakhstan comes with the highest standards of comfort, guide and logistics, both before your trip and on site.
