Exploring the Silk Road and Kazakhstan's Treasures

In the past, the Silk Road was an important trade route. Merchants travelled on foot and by camel, carrying silk, pottery, spices, and even exotic birds from China to the west across southern Kazakhstan. This tour takes you west along the Silk Road, starting from Taraz.

Taraz

Taraz is a very old city-it's over 2000 years old! The people of Taraz made jugs, lamps, and teapots, which they sold to the Silk Road merchants in the bazaar. The Taraz Bazaar was known as the "Mirror of the World" because people from many different countries came there to buy things. Today, there is still a bazaar where you can find traditional Kazakh handicrafts.

Turkestan

In Turkestan, you will see the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. This building is one of the most important in Kazakhstan. It is 39 meters high and has beautiful blue domes. Khoja Ahmed Yasawi is buried there. He taught the Islamic religion to many people and wrote poetry in the Turkic language.

Aksu-Zhabagly Nature Reserve

The fields, forests, and mountains of the Aksu-Zhabagly Nature Reserve are wonderful places to relax, walk, and take photographs. If you visit in spring, you can see fields full of red tulips, wild mountain sheep, and golden eagles. You probably won't see a bear, as they prefer to stay away from people.

The Aksu Canyon is 30 kilometers long and over 400 meters deep, so it is not for those who are afraid of heights. The Kishi-Kaindy waterfalls are stunning, and at Kaskabulak, you can see ancient rock paintings of horses and wild animals - an amazing end to a fantastic trip!

Kazakhstan is rich in history and natural beauty. From the ancient Silk Road to the breathtaking landscapes of Aksu-Zhabagly, there is so much to explore. Visitors can experience the culture, traditions, and picturesque scenery that make Kazakhstan a unique and unforgettable destination.
