Escape the crowds and dive deep into one of Kazakhstan’s most untouched natural regions — Zhongar Alatau National Park. This private 2-day tour takes you off the beaten path to a peaceful land where you’re unlikely to meet any other tourists.
Sleep in cozy, traditional Kazakh yurts beneath the stars, surrounded by pristine mountain landscapes. Experience nomadic hospitality with five authentic local meals a day, freshly prepared from organic ingredients.
Spend your days hiking to panoramic viewpoints, riding horses through alpine valleys, sipping kumys, and warming up by the evening fire with local stories.
Perfect for couples, families or small groups looking for total disconnection from city life and reconnection with nature and culture — in a way few travelers have ever seen.
