Eager to see vast steppes, deserts, blinding snow peaks, blue mountain lakes, swift rivers and whimsical narrow canyons do come to Kazakhstan. Almaty enjoying a beautiful setting between mountains and plains is a city with lots to offer, from modern architecture, cool fountains, parks to hiking and skiing in the beautiful mountains to fine-dining downtown.
The Zelyony Bazaar is alive with sights, sounds and smell, and is well worth checking out. The world famous Bukhara carpets found in the museums of Almaty is what one can get back from Kazakhstan. Koktyube Park is a great place for a leisure stroll and several cafes offering Kazakh delicacy provide a nice place to sit and take in the city.
