To the south of the Djaman-Too mountain chain, is the upper valley of Arpa, which stretches for about sixty kilometers, and up to 25km in width. It is mainly yak breeders who come for the summer season. To get there, you must have a border zone permit.

A large waterfall is located north of the village. The waterfall is like a long tongue coming out of a crevice in the rock. This narrow stream of water rushes from a sheer cliff 80 meters high with a breathtaking roar - it truly is an impressive sight!

It is not that easy to access the waterfall, there are rather slippery embankments around the waterfall. The waterfall falls into a hollow. It's hard to see the whole waterfall.

But it is possible to access from the bottom and enter the rift and see yet another waterfall.

Assy Plateau is a beautiful corner of nature, located 100 km east of Almaty. Assy Plateau, known since ancient times as a summer pasture, originates from the Kishi-Turgen River. The plateau is located at an altitude of 2800-3200 meters. Here Signs of a person’s being more than 5,000 years old, both nomadic and sedentary, were discovered. Plateau Assy goes east along the river Assy. Along the river you can see ancient burial mounds and rock carvings, which are one of the most high-altitude clusters of petroglyphs in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The astrophysical observatory Assy-Turgen was erected on the upper platform of the high-mountain plateau, where one of the world's largest telescopes was installed. Construction of the observatory began in 1975. Today, Assy is the only observatory in the Republic of Kazakhstan with an ideal astroclimate.

Astana-Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport is an international airport in Kazakhstan located 16.7 km southeast of the capital Nur-Sultan (former Astana). 

Astana's first airfield was built in 1931 on the outskirts of the town and was developed further after World War II. However, a new airport, which became Astana international Airport, was built 11 miles to the south of the city and opened in November 1963. It was largely used by Aeroflot and its local directorate. Following the transfer of the capital from Almaty to Astana in December 1997, the airport underwent a series of major reconstructions which brought it up to international standards, including the current 11,484 ft (3,500m) runway. A new passenger terminal designed by the late Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa was opened in February 2005.

During 2015, traffic increased to 3,366,560 passengers.

There is one terminal which is divided into two sectors – A and B. A is for international flights and B is for domestic.

No need to confuse with the check-in counter sectors (B – for Air Astana flights only, A – for other carriers).

Here, we are going to talk about the cosmodrome (space center) and not about the mining town of Baikonur. Created in 1956, it is today the most active space center in the world with nearly 15 launches per year. The area leased by Russia is located 240 km northwest of Kyzylorda. The launch of the Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome is the spectacle of a long journey. The installations, which remained secret for a long time, can now be visited, such as the space shuttle installations Egerguiya Bourana, the memorial houses of Korolev and Gagarin, the launching ramp from which on April 12, 1961, the spacecraft Vostok was launched for the first time in the world with pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on board. This visit is very special, also the rocket launch and requires strict administrative preparation. We advise you to contact us 3 months in advance if the visit interests you.

Of all the natural wonders of Afghanistan, the lakes of Band-e Amir are perhaps the most out-standing. Situated in the mountainous Hazarajat at an altitude of approximately 3000m, 75km from Bamiyan, these majestic blue lakes are of legendary beauty.

It is the country’s first national park, officially designated as such in 2009, and is home to six lakes that are most famous for their striking deep blue shade, a result of mineral deposits. The lakes are separated by natural travertine deposits, making it one of the world’s only travertine systems. It is framed by the Hindu Kush mountains, and acts as one of the centres of Afghan tourism. While the region provides a wealth of natural and agricultural resources, the opportunities for ecotourism mean that there has been a decrease in economic dependency on these resources.
