National Geographic has released
an article about Kazakhstan and its tourism potential titled «Why 2024 is the
prime time to discover Kazakhstan». According to the author, the country
attracts travelers with direct flights from many cities worldwide, visa-free
entry, interesting international events, and pristine natural beauty. Readers
are encouraged to visit Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes, Charyn Canyon, the plateaus in
the Mangystau region, and the historic Silk Road city of Shymkent. Moreover,
the article recommends getting acquainted with the unique nomadic culture, specifically
by trying traditional Kazakh dishes such as kurt and beshbarmak, and observing displays
of traditional horse riding and falconry. For a full immersion into the
authentic atmosphere of nomads, National Geographic suggests attending the
World Nomad Games, which will be held in Astana this autumn. It bears noting
that the author names autumn and spring as the best times to visit Kazakhstan. Nevertheless,
the country can delight guests with ski resorts in winter.
