Kazakhstan Highlights and Events
Travel in Kazakhstan with Intrepid
The beauty of Kazakhstan isn’t just in its varied landscape - although its mountains, glaciers and deserts are truly spectacular. The real surprise is the welcome you’ll receive. With very few tourists here, the locals will open their arms and their homes to you. Add in canyon hikes, curious horse dishes and more camels than you can poke a hump at for a truly unique destination.

Top 5 Tastes of Kazakhstan
- Besbarmak: This is Kazakhstan’s national dish and a meat lover’s delight. Chunks of boiled mutton served on flat squares of pasta.
- Kazy: Get ready for sausage, Kazakh-style. Made with horsemeat, the sausage is cooked for two hours before being served with generous servings of onion.
- Kumys: Wash down your main course with a glass of fermented mare’s milk. It’s mildly alcoholic and has a fizzy sensation. Shubat is another version made with camel’s milk.
- Baursaki: Try these fried, doughy balls of goodness alongside soup.
- Chay: Make new friends wherever you go by sitting down and sharing a cup of chay. This spiced tea is a Kazakh staple.
