Kazakhstan Package 8 Days 7 Nights

With seven nights in Kazakhstan you no longer have to choose between the city and the countryside. Start with three days in Almaty for Kok Tobe, the Green Bazaar, Medeu and the Shymbulak cable cars. Then head east for two days: Charyn Canyon with its Valley of Castles, and an overnight stay near Saty village to see Kolsai Lake and the sunken forest of Kaindy Lake without a rushed return drive. The days that remain can go to Issyk Lake, the Turgen gorge and waterfalls, or simply more time in the mountains above the city. Some travellers also add a short flight to Astana to see the capital's modern architecture.

The warm months from May to September are ideal for this route, since the lake roads are open and the valleys are green. Winter trips focus on snow activities instead, and several lake excursions may not run.

Kazakhstan is visa-free for Indian citizens for stays of up to 14 days per visit, so this 8 day holiday fits comfortably within the limit. It is a good choice for nature lovers, photographers and families who would like a slower trip with free days built in.
