Destination Info
Kazakhstan is big (see the map, below). We’re the ninth largest country in the world. We’re also very empty – plenty of room for our stunning scenery – with a population of only 18 million, we’re only 64th on the list of most populous countries.
To our south are the other -stan countries. Many visitors combine a visit to Kazakhstan with time in one or more of our four fellow former Soviet Republics, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan too.
TriptoKZ, based in Almaty, Kazakhstan (the red dot on the map) can help you with travel throughout the -stan region.

Kazakhstan
The largest and most prosperous of the 'stan countries, with substantial energy and mineral resources.
Most visitors choose to include Kazakhstan when visiting this region.
Kyrgyzstan
Abundant unspoiled nature. A land of mountains, lakes, and beautiful vistas.
A less well developed economy and with fewer natural resources than Kazakhstan.
Tajikistan
The smallest of the five 'stans.
However, Tajikistan has the highest mountains.
This is a country with potential, ready for development.
Turkmenistan
Enormous natural gas reserves have helped give this country better prosperity and reasonable stability, more so than some of its neighbors.
The least populous of the five 'stan countries.
Uzbekistan
Many years ago was at the heart of the ancient Silk Road (which also passes through most of the other 'stan countries too).
Has some beautiful historic and well-preserved architecture.
