Constructing a clear itinerary for Kazakhstan by going on Evaneos.com is a great starting point to your planning! You'll discover all the highlights of this little country - not so well known and rarely visited by the public. Kick off with the abundance of incredible towns, as confusing as they are attractive. Astana, the capital, is definitely not the best looking, but is certainly worth a visit. However, know that Aqmola (its previous name) evolves constantly and that certain old quarters will soon cease to exist. Contrastingly, Almaty has kept its heritage intact, and is a must-see for anyone mesmerised by soviet architecture, incredible sites such as Tamgaly, for its petroglyphs from the Bronze Age. The industrial heritage is in honour of Karaganda and is a great opportunity to learn the country's mining history, whilst Shymkent is centred more around the oil industry (the mountains and surrounding areas are breathtaking). Finally for those interested in visiting the religious monuments and the history, it's worth visiting Pavlodar (and its impressive mosque) and Turkestan, a legendary desert city intertwined with persian and tribal culture, and a mausoleum classed as a Unesco World Heritage site. An astonishingly diverse culture with a mix of people, Kazakhstan is a strange, timeless destination, and a true eye-opener. We hope to see you there!
