Treat for the eyes - Kazakhastan - Kazakasthan is really scenic and has diverse landscapes. Each site is unique and pleasing to the eyes. Natalia is best tour guide I have met so far, she is like a master of all trades, from driving in harsh terrains to being an expert of plants, soil and mountains. She made us feel comfortable as if we were traveling with a friend or family. Madi is extremely proactive and goes out of the way to support. Thanks and see you again Regards, Rajesh

We had a great experience... - We had a great experience on our tour! Because of extensive snow and an avalanche across a road, we were not able to take the intended tour. However, our guide, Chingiz, adjusted our plans and we had a lovely time hiking near the Turgen River and spending time at the Shymbulak Ski Resort. We also had a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant, with our guide ordering a spread of local dishes. Would definitely recommend this tour group. Finally, I left my sweatshirt in the tour vehicle and Chingiz went out of his way to drop it off at my hotel later that week.

Bloody perfect 😍 - Don't miss out on visiting Assy plateau and Turgen gorge, it's absolutely wonderful. Watching large herds of horses and cattle roam over the verdant hills of the plateau was truly moving. Our driver was great too!
