Kazakhstan: A Hidden Gem in Central Asia’s Winter Wonderland
Kazakhstan is the less obvious on the winter tourism map. With a 68% growth in the area of travel interest, this Central Asian nation is turning into an under-the-radar winter destination among people who don’t want the overcrowded tourist destinations.
The scenic mountainous areas such as Almaty and Shymbulak present ideal winter sports opportunities, as the infrastructure of the country is increasingly becoming comfortable, yet adventurous, to the travellers. The exceptional combination of nature in Kazakhstan is seeing escapes off ski resorts to peaceful lakeside getaways. The scenic appearance of the country, which comprises large steppes, great mountains, and fertile valleys also ensure that the country is a good place to consider a winter holiday alternative adventure.
