Adventures in Kazakhstan: A Travel Duo’s Journey of Beauty and Hospitality
British Travelers Silke and Kieran Share Their Adventure in Kazakhstan
Silke and Kieran, a couple from the United Kingdom, have been exploring the beauty of Kazakhstan on their 10-year world trip honeymoon. Their journey through Kazakhstan has been filled with diverse cultures, warm hospitality, and breathtaking landscapes, as they shared in an interview with The Astana Times.
The couple, who have been traveling full-time for the past three years, decided to venture into Kazakhstan after exploring South East Asia. They were intrigued by the opportunity to explore a destination that was lesser-known to them and were pleasantly surprised by the country’s rich culture and welcoming people.
One of the most memorable aspects of their journey has been the unmatched hospitality of the Central Asian people. Silke and Kieran were overwhelmed by the number of locals who invited them into their homes for tea or a place to stay. This level of hospitality, combined with the deep connection to tradition and culture, made Kazakhstan stand out as a unique and welcoming destination.
Their trip included a visit to Astana, where they attended the World Nomad Games and made lifelong friends. They also had the opportunity to stay with Aisholpan Nurgaip, the first eagle huntress, and experience the Altai Fest, an eagle hunting festival. Their journey took them to East Kazakhstan, where they explored the Kiin Kerish Valley and Zaisan Lake, immersing themselves in the natural beauty of the region.
Despite their adventures, Silke and Kieran feel that they have only scratched the surface of what Kazakhstan has to offer. They are eager to explore more of the country’s diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage in the future.
Their experiences in Kazakhstan have been captured in videos on their YouTube channel, showcasing the warm welcome and memorable moments they have encountered on their journey. As they continue their travels, Silke and Kieran hope to inspire others to discover the beauty and hospitality of Kazakhstan.
