Why did we start this project?

Because we love traveling and we love Qazaqstan. We share our readers’ excitement for discovering new places, the thrill of experiencing new cultures, and the joy of broadening our horizons! Just like you, we adore visiting those hidden gems that are truly off the beaten path. Qazaqstan is one of those places! Nestled in the heart of the vast Eurasian continent, Qazaqstan is a crossroads of cultures and civilizations. Ancient tribes like the Sakas and Scythians once roamed these lands, the great Silk Road connected Europe to China and India through Qazaqstan, it was part of the Soviet Union in the last century, and today, it’s a young state offering tourists a plethora of exciting experiences.

Our mission is to make your stay in Qazaqstan unforgettable and enjoyable. We are the first digital platform to bring together verified travel guides who are ready to show you the beauty of Qazaqstan.
