Kazakhstan Tourist Information
Kazakhstan is both the ninth-largest country and the 57th most populated nation in the world. Once a republic of the former Soviet Union, Kazakhstan is a destination for travelers yearning for remoteness and desert scenery. Geographically, 90 percent of the landscape is steppe and desert while the rest is mountainous bordering China and others.
Traveling in Kazakhstan is adventurously satisfying with activities like hiking, trekking, ice-skating, skiing, or camel riding. Almaty, Kazakhstan’s former capital city, is probably the most interesting city with picturesque surroundings and a relaxed atmosphere. Taking trains and buses is a cheap and convenient way to get around and across the country.
The climate in Kazakhstan is continental and moderately dry with cold winters and hot summers. July is usually the hottest month of the year. The best time to visit this part of the world is from mid-April to mid-September.
