Exploring Kazakhstan: Enjoy rugged landscapes and nomadic heritage

What to see

Bozjyra Tract

Bozjyra is part of the Ustyurt Plateau and is famous for its dazzling white chalk cliffs and the iconic “Bozjyra Fangs,” towering rock formations that look like giant teeth rising from the desert. The scenery feels almost extraterrestrial and unlike anywhere else in the world.

Katon-Karagay National Park

Located in eastern Kazakhstan, Katon-Karagay National Park is one of the country’s most beautiful natural areas. Vast forests, mountains, rivers and untouched wilderness stretch across a huge territory.

Karkaraly National Park

This area is known for pine forests, mountain lakes, unusual rock formations and scenic hiking trails. While less famous than Borovoe, it is a special place where Kazakh families spend weekends exploring nature together.

A defining local experience: visit Almaty

To truly experience Kazakhstan, begin in Almaty. The city offers excellent food, vibrant culture and easy access to some of the country's most beautiful mountain scenery. Exploring the nearby mountains, enjoying traditional cuisine and experiencing local hospitality provides an excellent introduction to Kazakhstan.

Local tip:

Visit the mountains surrounding Almaty early in the morning.

The views are spectacular, the air is fresh, and you'll see why so many locals spend their weekends escaping into nature.

What to eat and drink

  • Beshbarmak
    Kazakhstan’s national dish, traditionally made with boiled meat and noodles

  • Kumys
    A traditional fermented mare’s milk drink that has been enjoyed on the steppes (grassland region) for centuries


I love to visit Sandyq in Almaty as one of the best places to experience traditional Kazakh food in a modern setting.

Staying safe during your travels in Kazakhstan

Stay protected while you travel with Kaspersky

A trip should be about the journey ahead, not about worrying whether your phone, your accounts, or your personal data are safe along the way. But travel is exactly when your digital life can be exposed: you're booking things on the go, tapping links from unfamiliar senders, logging in to new apps, and connecting to whatever Wi-Fi you can find. Kaspersky helps you stay protected through all of it, so you can focus on where you're going.

It often starts before you even leave. As you book flights, hotels, and transport, Kaspersky Premium helps protect you from common travel scams, for example, fake booking links, misleading travel offers, and scam messages designed to catch you mid-plan. With Safe Messaging feature, it can flag suspicious links and messages before you tap, whether you're confirming a reservation, arranging a ride, paying online, or chatting on the go with a local guide.

With Kaspersky eSIM, you can get online as soon as you arrive without searching for a local SIM card or relying on unsecured public Wi-Fi. Whether you need to check directions, contact your accommodation, book a taxi or let your family know you've arrived safely, staying connected from the very beginning of your trip is simple and convenient.

Once you're on the move, the Wi-Fi at airports, hotels, cafés, and train stations becomes part of everyday travel, and that's where Kaspersky VPN comes in. By encrypting your internet traffic, it helps you use public networks more safely when you browse, check your plans, or access your accounts. It also helps you stay connected to the services you rely on at home — from banking and personal accounts to your favorite apps, websites, and streaming services — even while you're abroad.

And because travel means juggling more accounts than usual — airline apps, hotel sites, booking platforms, email, payment services — Kaspersky Password Manager keeps your credentials secure and within easy reach from your mobile device. It can create and manage strong passwords so you're not relying on weak or reused ones, and it lets you log in quickly wherever you are. You can also keep important travel documents (passport details, tickets, and booking confirmations) in a secure vault, so they're ready the moment you need them.

Together, these tools help protect your personal data across your devices and alert you to potential risks as you go, so the only thing you have to think about is the journey, not your digital safety.
