]]> Located in central Asia, Kazakhstan, a former Soviet country, is bordered by China and Russia. It’s a diverse country with so much to offer travelers, and yet so many people can’t get past their association of it with the film Borat. But if you’re willing to open your mind, here are just some of the beautiful things you’ll find there.

It’s Not Touristy

With tourism only becoming more and more common, one consideration that is increasingly important when choosing where to travel is how packed the place will be. Kazakhstan is a bit of a hidden gem, meaning that you don’t have to avoid giant crowds everywhere you go. It’s a great place if you appreciate peace and quiet.

The Landscape

Kazakhstan is full of natural beauty, with much more to the landscape than just deserts. There are plenty of stunning lakes, canyons, mountains, and steppes to see, and it’s all unspoiled by the effects of overpopulation and over-tourism.

It’s an Adventure

If you get easily bored and like to fill your travels with lots of adventure, you should definitely consider visiting Kazakhstan. You can climb mountains, swim in lakes, go on road trips, ski in the mountains, and explore mosques and mausoleums.

]]> The Tian Shan mountains bear many names, among them the mountains of Heaven and Tengri Tagh. They are composed of a hefty group of mountain ranges that pass through 5 countries. Its location is west-north of the Taklamakan Desert and it pairs up with the Pamir mountains where it continues to meet Mongolia in the north. It’s composed of many high mountain peaks including Jengish Chokusu which is around 7,439 meters. If you’re looking for some of the best mountain views in the world, you can find them here.

Glaciers and Lakes

The Tian Shan mountain region is about 70 kilometers south of Urumqi in China. It’s one of the best sites to visit in Xinjiang China. A lot of the places here are still unexplored by humans which is why its beauty is so well maintained.

Try Horseback Riding

Horseback riding might be one of the best options to do when visiting the heavenly mountains of central Asia. Since you’ll have a lot of ground to cover, and you might feel weary, riding a horse for some parts of the way would be a good idea. You’ll get to rest during the trip and see a picture-perfect view of the mountain ridges and crystal clear blue lakes.
