Kazakhstan Tour Packages

India and Kazakhstan share a strong diplomatic relationship built on mutual cooperation and cultural ties. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992, both nations have expanded partnerships in energy, defense, trade, and education. Kazakhstan plays an important role in India’s energy security through its rich oil, gas, and uranium reserves, while India contributes expertise in pharmaceuticals, IT, and education. People-to-people connections are also growing with more Indian students studying medicine and engineering in Kazakhstan.

Summers (July–August) can be hot in the steppes, while winters (November–March) are harsh and freezing, suitable mainly for those interested in skiing or snow adventures.

Kazakh cuisine reflects nomadic traditions with an emphasis on meat, dairy, and bread. Popular dishes include Beshbarmak (boiled meat with noodles), Shashlik (grilled skewers), and Kazy (horsemeat sausage). Tea is a staple, often served with milk and sweets.
