Question 10

What popular events take place in Kazakhstan?

Accepted Answer

Kazakhstan is most well-known for its hospitable people. To make the most of your adventure, book flights to Kazakhstan on dates that coincide with some of the country's annual events and enjoy their hospitality. Kazakhstan is one of the most culturally active countries in Central Asia, with events happening on a pretty regular basis. Some of the most popular national festivals in Kazakhstan are Constitution Day on the 30th of August, Victory Day on the 9th of May, Capital City Day on the 6th of July to celebrate the president's birthday, and St. Valentine's Day on the 14th of February. One of the most popular festivals in the country is on the 21st and 22nd of March, called Nauruz. Nauruz is celebrated throughout Central Asia and Kazakhstan, where locals invite the springtime with movement, songs, and nourishment. When it comes to traditional festivals in the country, you won't want to miss Kurban. Kurban celebrates the end of Ramadan and results in massive festivities and a huge blowout among the Muslim people. Almaty holds the apple festival in September, where you can sample a wide variety of locally-grown apples. The Astana International Contest of Kazakh Song is held in Astana and is a festival created as a tribute to the country's music.

Question 11

Is the Kazakhstan known for specific food/cuisine?

Accepted Answer

Kazakhstan cuisine is largely influenced by Middle Eastern cuisine and the nomadic people, where horsemeat and mutton are the most common foods found. This can take a little bit of getting used to for many western travellers. One of the best examples of nomadic Kazakh cuisine is Kurt, a hardened ball of fermented cheese. Fermented drinks are a popular staple throughout Kazakhstan, including Shubat or fermented camel's milk, Kumis or fermented mare's milk, and Shalap, a fermented drink consisting of water, salt, and either Kurt or yoghurt. Manti is another popular food found in most regions of Kazakhstan. It's a kind of dumpling typically consisting of a spiced lamb or beef mixture inside a thin dough that's steamed or boiled. Lagman is a noodle dish, typically hand-pulled, made with goat, beef, or lamb meat and a variety of other vegetables such as tomatoes, bell peppers, green beans, onions, potatoes, and garlic. Lagman Shurpa is Lagman that's been turned into a type of stewed or soup version of the original dish and is common throughout Central Asia.

Question 12

What can you see and do in Kazakhstan?

Accepted Answer

Although Kazakhstan is scarcely explored, the country is teeming with sites worth visiting and an expansive landscape worth exploring. Take advantage of Kazakhstan flight deals and make your way to the Singing Dunes in Altyn Emel National Park. This mountain of sand dunes makes a whistling sound as the wind skims through them and can be as loud as 105 decibels (that's loud). Make your way to the Charyn River along the Chinese border and check out the Charyn Canyon. You can also spend time canoeing or white water rafting on the river. If you're an avid skier, make your way to Shimbulak and head to the ski resort. The 2011 Winter Asian Games were held there, and there is a wide range of slopes to try out. If you're a nature lover, one of the must-see attractions is Lake Kaindy, formed by a landslide in 1911, containing water that shifts from emerald to turquoise and back depending on how the light hits it. The lake is teeming with birdlife, roe deer that come to graze, and you can also do a bit of trout fishing.

Question 13

What passport or visa requirements are there when visiting Kazakhstan?

Accepted Answer
