How to stay safe when traveling to these so-called dangerous countries of Asia Some of these places are considered among...
Arslanbob, Kyrgyzstan, Silk Road, Central Asia. This is said to be the birth place of all the walnuts in the world. People live inside this huge and magical forest, like in a fairytale. The harvest season is here, and we came to see how it is.
Before going to cycle Kazakhstan, we asked ourselves: are there still Kazakh nomad out there? Or Soviet Union wiped them all out?
From Azerbaijan to Kazakhstan by boat. Crossing the Caspian Sea on a Soviet-era ferry, from Baku to Aktau. Right in the middle of the Kazakh Steppe.
Kyrgyzstan, Issyk Kul lake, Cholpon Ata town, First World Nomad Games. Play polo with a dead goat (Kok Boru or Buzkashi), throw your opponent from his horse in a tense Enish fight, or grab your bride (or slap your groom) in a Kyz Kuu race!
Among the best things to do around Almaty, Charyn Canyon is a must, while less may know of Esik Lake. Both can be reached on a day trip from Almaty.
