Kazakhstan is a country in Central-Asia, with a lot of nature and mountains and grasslands. This country is easy to reach from both Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. The main highlight is the beautiful nature of the country. On this page I will describe the important information for traveling to this country, and link to travel guides for the area around Almaty.
Required applications
The apps that will make your life a lot easier are Yandex Maps and Yandex Go.
Yandex Maps
Google Maps does work in Kazakhstan, but has a lot of outdated information. I recommend you download Yandex Maps, and use this for navigation during your time in this country.
Yandex Go
This is the local taxi application, from which you can order a taxi online. I would recommend always using this app, when ordering a taxi, since you get an indication of the price for the ride.
Visa
In 2026, you can enter Kazakhstan easily with a 30 day visa free period. The immigration process is very easy. I would recommend checking your local government advice for the latest visa information.
