Kazakhstan borders on Russia in the north and west, on the Caspian Sea
in the south west, on Kirgisien, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in the
south and on China in the east. 90per cent of the land are steppe and
dessert (Karaku, Kisilkum). The scenery in the southeast is filled with
the huge mountains of the Tien Shan and Alatau.
In the east you can find the AUSLAUEFER of the Altai. Kazakhstan is a
land with lots of rivers and lakes. The ALRALSEE and the BALCHASCHSEE
are the biggest ones.
The so-called “mountains of the sky”, the Tien Shan is a huge mountain
chain in the heart of the Eurasian country. Rocky ravines, endless
snow-covered Mountain chains, huge Glaciers and clearly lakes all
framed with blue sky and green forests.
Also interesting is this corner at the border to China because
of its population, which is a mixed bunch of different ethnic groups.
From Almaty, the former capital, the tour leads us east through the
Alatau Mountains to the river of the Tien Shan Mountains.
On the Highlands you discover a huge variety of plants and flowers as
well as some typical tents of the Nomads. Finally there is the crossing
of the Mingtur pass with a beautiful view to the ice-pyramid of the Kan
Tengri (7000m). The tour end is at the north bank of the 180km-ranged
Issyk-Kul-Lake.
From Boztery back to Almaty you catch the bus.
