Kazakhstan is a beautiful country in Asia that’s often unfairly overlooked by tourists. One of the things Kazakhstan is famous for is its attractions, such as First President’s Park, which is an urban park situated in Almaty where Al-Farabi Avenue and Navoi Street meet, named so to honor the first President of Kazakhstan: Nursultan Nazarbayev. Many Kazakh and Western pieces are performed in Abay Opera House, including classical music performances and operas. Another attraction is Kaindy Lake, a body of water formed following the 1911 earthquake. You can also savor the traditional foods that will surely tantalize your taste buds.
You can also have fun and be amazed by opting for a unique stay expeirience in Kazakhstan. The yurt is a humble residence used by nomadic peoples. Assembled in a brief period of time and easily deconstructed, it has a wooden circular built interwoven with ropes and usually covered with felt. More than a dwelling, the yurt is an emblem of life without restrictions, a life without corners, and a life in sync with nature. In order to experience this way of life, read about the top yurts in Kazakhstan.
