Nestled at the southern edge of the world, South New Zealand—better known as the South Island of Aotearoa—is a land sculpted by nature’s boldest brushstrokes. Towering alps, ancient glaciers, jewel-toned lakes, and dramatic coastlines all come together in a region that feels at once untouched and deeply welcoming. Whether you crave heart-racing adventure or soul-soothing solitude, South New Zealand offers journeys as vast and varied as its landscapes. 🏔️ Southern Alps: The Backbone of the Island Running like a spine through the island, the Southern Alps define the South Island’s character. Snow-capped peaks, alpine lakes, and rugged passes form the backdrop to much of the region’s beauty. Aoraki/Mount Cook, standing at 3,724 meters, is the tallest mountain in New Zealand. Surrounding it are glacier-carved valleys and glistening lakes like Pukaki and Tekapo, each with an unreal blue hue from glacial minerals. The Tasman Glacier, New Zealand’s longest, can be explored by scenic flight, boat, or heli-hike—a must for those seeking a close encounter with ice-age grandeur. ❄️ Glacier Country: Where Ice Meets Rainforest In South Westland, ancient glaciers spill almost to sea level—an extremely rare sight anywhere in the world. Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier offer surreal adventures: walk on glistening ice, explore ice caves, or fly over jagged crevasses. The juxtaposition of glacier and lush temperate rainforest makes this region particularly unique. Nearby Lake Matheson reflects Mount Cook and Mount Tasman on clear days, making it one of the most photographed spots in the country. 🌸 Canterbury: From Coast to Alps Canterbury stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Southern Alps, a region of contrast and charm. Christchurch, the largest city in the South Island, is known as the “Garden City” for its botanic gardens and riverside parks. Rebuilt with creativity after major earthquakes, it combines heritage with innovation. Inland, you’ll find Arthur’s Pass, a dramatic alpine crossing, and Castle Hill, a dreamscape of weathered limestone boulders, popular with rock climbers and spiritual seekers. Lake Tekapo, part of the Mackenzie Basin, offers serenity by day and stunning stargazing by night. Don’t miss a soak in the Tekapo hot springs or a visit to the Mt. John Observatory. 🌿 Otago: History, Highlands, and Hidden Gems The Otago region unfolds with dramatic beauty and rich history. Dunedin, a university town with strong Scottish roots, features Victorian architecture, quirky cafés, and coastal wildlife. Drive the Otago Peninsula for close encounters with rare yellow-eyed penguins, fur seals, and royal albatross colonies. Inland lies Central Otago, famous for its arid hills, gold mining heritage, and some of New Zealand’s best Pinot Noir. The Otago Central Rail Trail is ideal for scenic cycling or slow travel through wine country. 🚣‍♀️ Fiordland: The Wild Southwest Fiordland is one of the most remote and spectacular corners of the South Island. Milford Sound is a fjord so dramatic it leaves visitors speechless—waterfalls drop from vertical cliffs, dolphins leap from the black water, and mist hangs like a veil over ancient peaks. Doubtful Sound, less visited but more expansive, feels like stepping into a prehistoric world—perfect for multi-day kayaking trips or overnight cruises. The area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a sanctuary for native birds and unique flora. Let Sedunia Travel’s New Zealand Specialists help you craft the ultimate New Zealand experience!

Written by Jackie Ng If you’ve ever wandered through your Minecraft world and thought, “I wish I could see this in real life”—well, you’re not alone. When the creators of Minecraft: The Movie chose filming locations, they knew exactly where to go: New Zealand. From glowing caverns to starlit skies, peaceful islands to misty fjords, New Zealand brings the game’s most breath-taking biomes to life. So grab your enchanted gear and let’s explore five epic destinations where Minecraft’s magic meets the real world. 1. Waitomo Caves – Glowstone Caverns in Real Life Step into the darkness... and look up. Waitomo’s Glowworm Grotto is a surreal underground world where millions of glowworms illuminate the cave ceiling  like floating glowstone blocks. Hop on a silent boat ride through this starry underworld—you’ll feel like you've unearthed a hidden stronghold. Looking for adventure? Try the Lost World Half-Day Adventure . With abseiling, climbing, and exploring tunnels, it’s like navigating a treacherous mineshaft—minus the mobs. 2. Te Puia, Rotorua – Geothermal Furnace Biome Just like wandering into a lava pit or bubbling cauldron in the Nether, Te Puia  in Rotorua  sizzles with geothermal activity. Geysers erupt sky-high, steaming mud pools bubble, and the earth itself seems to hum beneath your feet. Then, step into the world of the Māori. Cultural performances, traditional meals, and incredible woodcarving and weaving bring the richness of a real-life village encounter—no trading required. 3. Lake Tekapo – Stargazer’s Stronghold Want to craft your dream base under the stars? Start here. By day, Lake Tekapo’s vibrant turquoise waters  and snow-dusted peaks make it a visual masterpiece. But by night, it becomes a stargazer’s dream. Situated in the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve , Lake Tekapo offers one of the clearest night skies in the world. No potion of night vision needed—just look up and let the constellations transport you. 4. Abel Tasman National Park – Coastal Creative Mode Golden beaches. Jungle-cloaked trails. Glassy turquoise seas. Sound familiar? Abel Tasman National Park  is where you’d build your ultimate dream base in Creative Mode. Hike along coastal paths, kayak through secluded coves, or just chill with your feet in the sand—it’s your adventure to shape. This isn’t just a destination—it’s a canvas for your wildest travel dreams.  5. Doubtful Sound – Mystical Fog Biome Deep in Fiordland lies Doubtful Sound , the largest and most remote fjord in the region. This is the hidden realm for the true explorers. Shrouded in mist and silence, it’s a world of towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and still-mirror-waters . Take a boat cruise and you might encounter dolphins, penguins, or even seals—like stumbling across rare mobs in an unexplored zone.

Source : Travel Weekly Asia, May 05 2025 Luxury travellers aren't just seeking destinations – they're chasing experiences only a few will ever know. Sedunia Travel, together with our guests, were among the first to experience Le Commandant Charcot since its launch in 2021. There are few places on Earth where time seems to stand still – and fewer still where travellers can go and feel as though they’ve reached the very edge of the world. The Geographic North Pole is one such place. Remote, raw, and largely untouched by modern civilisation, this is not a destination – it is an experience. One that demands exclusivity, resilience, and a ship designed to lead the way: Le Commandant Charcot by PONANT. A pioneer in polar exploration, Le Commandant Charcot is more than an icebreaker; it is a sanctuary of refinement in one of the harshest environments on the planet. Built for travellers who demand both adventure and sophistication, this is the only luxury vessel designed to take adventurers to the true North Pole in comfort, care, and deep connection with the ice-covered world. A destination for the intrepid Le Commandant Charcot is the world’s only luxury icebreaker, carving through polar ice that swiftly reseals, leaving no trace – an elegant feat of eco-conscious innovation for exploration. To reach the geographic North Pole is to go where few have tread. Only a handful of vessels in history have ever made this journey, and Le Commandant Charcot – the world's only luxury icebreaker powered by hybrid electric liquefied natural gas propulsion – brings this dream closer to reality for a select few. Unlike traditional cruises, this is not about ticking off a list of ports. There are no shopping streets or souvenir shops. Instead, you’ll find floating cathedrals of ice, shifting polar light, and the haunting silence of the great white expanse. On select voyages, guests even get to step onto the sea ice at 90° North – a feat that few human beings in history have accomplished. Each journey to the North Pole is dictated by the elements. With expert expedition teams, daily briefings, and wildlife sightings that can never be predicted – a polar bear ambling along a floe, or narwhals breaking the surface – each moment feels more like a privilege than an itinerary. Exclusivity is the new luxury Le Commandant Charcot’s Deluxe Suite features refined interiors, spacious living areas, and private balconies that offer panoramic polar views. The definition of luxury has evolved. Today, it is not just about marble bathrooms or pillow menus  – it’s about access. The kind of access Le Commandant Charcot provides is extraordinary: to silence, to solitude, to sights that money alone can’t buy. On board, the elegance is unmistakable. Spacious Prestige Staterooms and Deluxe Suites on Deck 6 offer uninterrupted views of the icy wilderness, with interiors designed to echo the polar serenity outside. Materials awaken the senses – soft textures, soothing colours, and light-filled spaces that connect you to the world beyond the windows. In a world where over-tourism has touched even the most once-remote places, the experience of being on a vessel that accommodates just 200 guests – and often sails in places where not another ship is in sight – is the ultimate indulgence. The journey is the experience Le Commandant Charcot’s fleet of Zodiacs allows guests to venture into the heart of the polar wilderness – gliding past icebergs, spotting wildlife, and exploring remote, icy shores up close. On Le Commandant Charcot , every element has been curated to heighten the polar experience. Guests begin their mornings with a yoga session overlooking drifting ice, or taking a meditative stroll along the promenade deck, pausing on heated benches to observe Arctic wildlife through Swarovski Optik scopes. In the afternoons, venture out with the expedition team on Zodiac cruises or hikes across the frozen terrain. On certain sailings, guests can glide across the ice on dog sleds or kayaks – modes of travel deeply entwined with the polar story. They’re not just observing the environment. They’re becoming part of its rhythm. Back on board, they’re cocooned in quiet elegance. Relax in the spa’s snow cabin or Finnish sauna, float in the indoor pool heated to 32°C, or enjoy a detox cocktail with panoramic views in the wellness lounge. Dining in the middle of nowhere, Michelin-style Le Commandant Charcot offers buffet-style meals and themed dinners with global dishes like Thai curries, French classics, and salads that guests can enjoy while gazing out at the icy expanse of the Arctic. Who says adventure means roughing it? On Le Commandant Charcot , dining is elevated to an art form. At Nuna, the gastronomic restaurant, guests savour creations by Alain Ducasse – vegetable and lobster cookpots, or slow-braised meats that evoke the essence of French fine dining, even in the high Arctic. Prefer a casual bite? Lounge at Sila under the Arctic sun or grab a seat at the open-air bar. Wines are handpicked by the sommelier to complement the day’s mood, and afternoon tea might include truffle-infused croques or savoury pastries served by the Blue Lagoon – an outdoor heated pool powered by the ship’s energy recuperation system. An intimate cultural exchange Guests sailing on Le Commandant Charcot can embark on thrilling dog sledding excursions across the Arctic, guided by experienced mushers. Beyond the ice, Greenlandic itineraries with Le Commandant Charcot offer rare cultural encounters. In Ilulissat and Qeqertarsuaq, guests are welcomed by Inuit communities whose spring traditions unfold in tandem with the season’s first daylight. Join dog sledding excursions guided by the last remaining hunters of East Greenland. Share stories over tea in colourful coastal villages, where the warmth of human connection cuts through the Arctic chill. These aren't staged performances – they’re authentic moments of exchange few will ever experience.

What true luxury looks like at the top of the world

Written by Michelle Tan Photo source: https://dailytravelpill.com/one-day-in-hallstatt-itinerary-budget/ Austria, perhaps best renowned for its legendary musical composers and classical music scene, is additionally widely regarded for its vibrant cultural legacy, picturesque cities such as Vienna and Salzburg, and breath-taking Alpine landscapes. It's also well-known for its distinctive cuisine, popular winter sports, and its prominent role as the heart of the Habsburg Empire. Austria is also celebrated for its rich coffeehouse culture, the concept of Gemütlichkeit—a uniquely Austrian sense of cozy enjoyment—and a deep-rooted tradition in arts and craftsmanship. Aside from the main cities of Vienna and Salzburg, the rich landscape of this country contains a broad spectrum of alternative landscapes that beckon to the hearts of various travellers. Here are 10 hidden gems  of Austria worth adding to your travel bucket list! Photo source: https://jasonstropko.com/ 1. Rattenberg, Tyrol Situated on the Inn River near Rattenberg Mountain and Innsbruck lies a quaint town with narrow streets, medieval atmosphere, and picturesque scenery. Rattenberg —Austria’s smallest town with only several hundred residents —is a true hidden treasure. Strolling amidst its historic buildings inevitably leads to the renowned glass studios that have earned Rattenberg the title of "The Glass Town." Here, skilled artisans including glassblowers, cutters, painters, and engravers craft unique works of art, often right before visitors' eyes. This title finds its origins rooted deeply in glass artistry and has been a longstanding tradition within the region. For a more in-depth look at the diverse techniques of glassblowing and its many stages, a visit to one of the many glass studios—such Kristall Glas Kisslinger—is highly recommended. And if you're feeling adventurous, you may even participate in a workshop to try your hand at blowing glass ornaments yourself—providing a wonderful bonding experience for yourself and your family. 2. Gmünd, Carinthia. The charming and scenic town of Gmünd is nestled at the gateway to the Hohe Tauern and Nockberge national parks. In 2000, the city was rewarded with the European Village Renewal Prize in recognition of its rich and varied cultural scene. Often deemed as the town that embodies art in its purest form, a brisk walk about boasts the colourful scenery of restored medieval houses, now home to artists who maintain their studios and galleries throughout the year – open year-round to extend a warm welcome to visitors. The ideal way to discover it all is with an art guide, who brings the town’s history and cultural heritage to life through captivating stories and compelling memories. A highlight for visitors is Stadtturmgalerie, which regularly presents exhibitions by internationally acclaimed artists—Turner and Matisse amongst the many of them. Bringing a modern flair to the experience is the Fritz Russ Sculpture Garden—an unforgettable attraction that shouldn’t be missed. This town is truly an experience not to be missed, especially for lovers and patrons of the arts seeking inspiration. Photo source: https://www.srs.at/en/tickets/experiences-piber 3. Piber, Western Styria. An equestrian’s dream brought to life, the village of Piber located near the town of Köflach of Western Styria is a must-see for all animal lovers. Here within this small town, the masterful art of horsemanship is proudly executed by the highly-prized Lipizzaner stallions. These stallions are a force of nature; charming, full of life, highly intelligent, and have a fondness for humans. At the Lipizzan Stud Farm in Piber, set amid lush greenery, these extraordinary horses are bred and meticulously trained for their future stellar performances at the Spanish Riding School, with a history dating back to 1920. Piber serves also as a retirement home for stallions that once captivated audiences in Vienna. Aside from the farm, a wide range of activities awaits visitors: guided tours of the stud farm, scenic carriage rides, and alpine pasture excursions offer immersive experiences. For those seeking adventure, the Piber climbing park offers an adrenaline-filled experience with more than 60 challenging stations to conquer. Photo source: https://www.komoot.com/highlight/155326 4. Grüner See (Green Lake), Styria. Grüner See is a picturesque lake located in the village of Tragöß and is encircled by three majestic peaks—Pribitz, Meßnerin, and Trenchtling—all belonging to the Hochschwab mountain range. This stunning spot is a favorite among locals for hiking and relaxing on benches—at least until mid-June, when those same trails and benches end up submerged under as much as 36 feet of water. As spring temperatures climb, melting snow from the surrounding mountains flows into the basin, flooding everything in its path; the result is a surreal, short-lived underwater park that lasts until around July, when the water slowly recedes and land access returns. Fed by snowmelt, the water remains icy cold and crystal clear, offering visibility up to 160 feet. This remarkable clarity gives the lake its signature green hue—and its nickname: the “Caribbean of the Alps". Photo source: https://www.moonhoneytravel.com/drachensee-seebensee-hike-austria/ 5. Lake Seebensee, Ehrwald. Seebensee is a natural alpine lake, formed in a glacially shaped rock basin, situated at an elevation of 1,657 meters. It lies to the south of Ehrwald in the Mieming Range. A well-known hiking spot, it draws large crowds annually of nature lovers that wish to commune with nature. Visitors to the area may also hike up to the Coburger Hütte, perched just above Seebensee. From this vantage point, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of Drachensee, another beautiful alpine lake close by. For an even more spectacular perspective, continue your hike toward the Tajatörl peak, where you’ll get a stunning aerial view of both lakes below. The lake itself boasts crystal clear waters, so clear that even the bottom of the lake is visible to the naked eye. The atmosphere of this region is one of serenity and calmness, perfect for those that wish to absorb the majestic beauty of mother nature and feel the gentle breeze across your face. Photo source: https://www.schloss-thannegg.at/de/aktuelles/meldungen/China-und-Schladming-Dachstein.php 6. Dachstein Glacier, Styria. At a height of 2,700 meters, this icy spectacle looms over Styria and is amongst the highly suggested places to visit in Schladming. In fact, the Dachstein/Hallstatt-Salzkammergut region has earned a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list—a prestigious recognition of global significance. At the mountain station, the Dachstein Sky Walk features a glass floor that provides unforgettable views, including a dramatic look straight down the 250-meter vertical rock face of the Hunerkogel. For even more thrills, the Dachstein suspension bridge leads to the Ice Palace and includes the famous "Stairway to Nowhere," which offers breathtaking views over the 400-meter-deep cliffs of the Dachstein massif. At the bridge’s end, you'll feel as if you’re floating above the mountains—a perfect spot for memorable photos. The Dachstein Sky Ladder is a must for adrenaline seekers. It features twelve steps leading to a glass platform with jaw-dropping views over the Dachstein, delivering a truly exhilarating experience. Photo source: https://www.rauriserhof.at/en/holidays-salzburg/ice-caves-werfen 7. Eisriesenwelt Ice Cave, Werfen. The Eisriesenwelt, situated in Werfen, Austria is a vast natural cave made of limestone and ice. Spanning across 42 kilometers, it holds the title of the world's largest ice cave and attracts around 200,000 visitors annually. Entrance into the cave system is strictly permitted only with a guide present and the overall tour lasts for around an hour. The path ascends 134 meters in elevation—roughly the height of 40 stories—and includes 1,400 stairs. The Werfen ice caves offer more than just the typical grandeur of massive, towering caverns. The towering cliffs and smooth ice walls radiate an ethereal blue glow, creating a surreal atmosphere. Due to the cave's distinctive air circulation, spring meltwater freezes into stunning natural ice sculptures and formations, affectionately referred to as the "Ice Giants". Photo source: https://www.salzburg.info/en/sights/excursions/schafberg-railroad-wolfgangsee-cruises 8. Schafberg Peak, Salzburg. Schafberg Peak is a mountain situated in Austria's Salzkammergut region, within the state of Salzburg. Rising to an elevation of 1,783 meters (5,850 feet), it provides breathtaking panoramic vistas of nearby lakes such as Wolfgangsee, Mondsee, and Attersee. One of its main highlights is the historic Schafberg Railway, a cogwheel train that travels up the mountain from the town of St. Wolfgang. For the adventurous, hiking paths offer a challenging but rewarding experience with stunning views; hikers that arrive at the summit may soak in the 360-degree views of the surrounding lakes and mountains. Several short walking trails allow you to explore different viewpoints and appreciate the landscape.  On sunny days, you might see paragliders taking advantage of the mountain winds, adding to the spectacle. Photo source: https://www.fpcc.at/en/the-region/hohe-tauern-national-park 9. Hohe Tauern National Park, Austria. The Hohe Tauern National Park showcases one of the world’s most breathtaking high-altitude mountain landscapes. Its elevation zones, stretching from deep valleys to peaks soaring over 3,000 meters, host an extraordinary range of biodiversity. The Park is a sanctuary for numerous plant and animal species with origins in the Central Asian tundra, the Arctic, and even Southern Europe.  To truly immerse yourself in its pristine wilderness, start your journey at the visitor center in Mittersill and join a guided hike led by an experienced park ranger. Along the way, you’ll encounter rare Alpine flowers, ibex, marmots, eagles, and vultures amid stunning scenery. Wander through vast meadows where you can gather wild blueberries and herbs, and take in the panoramic views from one of the area's awe-inspiring summits. Photo source: https://thetwirlingtraveler.nl/aquadome/ 10. Aqua Dome, Oberlängenfeld. The AQUA DOME – Tirol Thermal Längenfeld is one of Austria’s most modern thermal spas, featuring unique architecture with a futuristic design. Set amidst the rugged Ötztal nature, it offers the luxury of a thermal bath experience. The thermal water, sourced from 1,865 meters below the surface, fills 12 indoor and outdoor pools across 2,200 square meters. The centerpiece is the crystal-shaped thermal dome, housing two large pools with temperatures of 34° and 36° sourced from deep underground. The river pool gently flows toward the outdoor area, leading to the shimmering "Diamond" and three "floating" bowl basins—distinctive features of the AQUA DOME. This scenic yet immersive hotel eludes an energy of peace and renewal, with focus placed on health and wellness. Guests of AQUA DOME are free to enjoy one-of-a-kind thermal bath and sauna experience, followed by a leisurely stroll through the modern bathrobe corridor straight into the hotel.

Written by Michelle Tan Kazakhstan, nestled deep within the regions of Central Asia, offers travellers an experience unlike any other. Boasting a title of “The Melting Pot of Central Asia”, this country offers visitors the opportunity to check off several destinations on their travel bucket list at one go, with promises of a journey filled with anticipation for the undiscovered wonders of the region. Visitors at Shymbulak Ski Resort arriving for fun-filled activities Cultural Significance        A painting depicting the traditional way of preparing Kazakh cuisine in a tribal setting Kazakhstan’s history is as extensive and varied as its topography, with centuries marked by the imprint of ancient civilizations that have molded both cultures and traditions of the land. The richness of its society is characterized predominantly by over a hundred ethnic groups inclusive of but not limited to Kazakhs, Russians, Ukrainians, Uzbeks, Tatars, and Uighurs; each ethnicity contributing elements from their culture to the melting pot that is Kazakhstan. Traditional customs, music, art, and dance are the result of such rich diversity. Scenery & Landscape Oi-Qaragai Mountain Resort Kazakhstan’s vast landscapes offer breath-taking natural grandeur. Nature enthusiasts may experience climbing, trekking and hiking against the backdrop of Tian Shan' s untamed mountains, and skiers may find an adrenaline rush within the winter resorts of Shymbulak and Oi-Qaragai Mountain Resort.    In addition to the mountainous regions, the ethereal splendour of the Karakum Desert  is known for its haunting landscape of sandy plains that entice visitors to camp beneath the stars in a mood of serenity, disturbed occasionally by the song of nature.  Lastly, the Caspian Sea,  the world's biggest enclosed body of water, is found in Kazakhstan. The aquatic landscape includes the Aral Sea, once amongst the biggest lakes in the world and offers with passion in aqua sports to experience kayaking and angling. The Kolsai Lakes, an arrangement of three staggering elevated lakes, offers a sense of tranquillity and scenic magnificence. Must-Visit Places Charyn Canyon, Kazakhstan's breathtaking version of the Grand Canyon Complementing the beauty of Kazakhstan’s naturescape are the cities basked in dystopian aura. Formerly Astana, the capital city of Nur-Sultan  perhaps serves as the biggest symbol of the nation’s commitment to advancement and vision. Innovative architectural marvels like Bayterek Tower and the Khan Shatyr Entertainment Centre leave visitors in awe. Almaty , the previous capital, is another essential stop on the list. Encompassed by snow-capped mountains, this dynamic city offers a blend of innovation and convention; its tree-lined roads, bustling markets, and memorable buildings allows for visitors a glimpse into the past of the nation. For nature devotees, a visit to Charyn Canyon  is highly encouraged. Regularly alluded to as Kazakhstan's reply to the Grand Canyon, Charyn Canyon features cliffs of dynamic colours spanning across 125,050 hectares with a stunning view of the sun as it sets, painting the geographical wonder in an abstract of colours. Those who wish to experience cultural significance may stop for a visit at the Ethno-Village,  where locals showcase their lifestyle and culture to travellers, and even allows for participation in their activities. Kara Zhorga - A lively national folk  dance  Top Local Delights to Sample A selection of local Kazakh cuisine - from rice, bread to fried foods No visit to any destination is complete without sampling its local delicacies. Kazakh nourishment offers a delicate fusion between Turkish and Slavic gastronomic influences, with culinary traditions retained by Russian-descended populations in most major cities such as Almaty. Traditional cooking methods rely heavily on the usage of horse and mutton meat, whereas beef and chicken are abundant throughout the Muslim dominated country,suitable for Muslim travellers.  Kazakh dishes share many similarities with those of neighbouring countries.; national dishes such as beshbarmak (dish made from boiled meat, dough, and onion sauce) are similarly enjoyed by Kyrgyzstan, shashlik (grilled, skewered meat) and lepyoshka (leavened bread) by Azerbaijan, and pilaf (rich dish), kebabs (roasted, skewered meat), and yoghurt by Armenia. Kazakhstan is additionally known for its dairy items, with kumis (matured mare's drain) being a traditional drink that's both reviving and marginally alcoholic. Shubat, a fermented camel milk, is another interesting refreshment that's worth sampling. Travel Arrangements Kazakhstan offers a range of styles in accommodation to suit each traveller’s needs. From extravagant lodgings within the major cities to guesthouses and yurts in provincial zones, there is something for everybody. Remaining in a yurt, a conventional roaming staying, provides the authentic experience of emulating a nomadic lifestyle. Transportation in Kazakhstan is relatively simple, with a well-developed arrangement of streets and railroads interfacing major cities and traveller hotspots. Residential flights too are accessible for those who wish to venture into the unfathomability of the nation in a shorter period of time. Why Choose Kazakhstan? Attractions in Almaty & Kolsay Lake Kazakhstan is a nation that gives a one-of-a-kind mix of common excellence, wealthy social heritage, and warm neighbourliness. From the cutting-edge cities to the stunning landscapes, this destination retains its charm and mystery to entice a potential traveller to uncover its hidden gems. Whether you are looking for enterprise, social submersion, or essentially a chance to detach from the hustle and haste of existence, Kazakhstan guarantees an encounter like no other.
