Kazakhstan Mega Tour

Kazakhstan is HUGE! The ninth largest country in the world in fact. There is so much to see, and it would take months to even scratch the surface. We’re not going to pretend that we’ll show you everything, but this tour goes a long way into exploring the many different sides that Kazakhstan has to offer. From the cosmopolitan, leafy streets and café culture of Almaty, to the futuristic custom-built capital of Nur Sultan, you'll see some pretty amazing and unique places. We'll explore the Soviet nuclear testing sites in Northern Kazakhstan, along with the Soviet cities of Semey and Kurchatov, which are an eerie step back to the glory days of Brezhnev. Later on we'll show you some old radio towers, and then we'll get back to nature with visits to Charyn Canyon and a couple of really cool lakes.

Karlag And Spassk

Tours & Activities

Karlag And Spassk

Visit of biggest camp of Gulag Karlag and Spassk was established in 1931 during the period of settlement of remote areas of greater USSR and its ethnic republics. Cheap labor was in high demand for these purposes. People were arrested and transported from west of the Ural Mountains to the gigantic labor camp in central Kazakhstan spanning from Akmola Region in the north to the Chu River in the south. Later, after WWII, another wave of prisoners poured in, constituting Soviet former POWs held captive by the Nazis before the Red Army returned them to the Soviet Union. Many Karlag inmates were prisoners sentenced as "enemies of the people" under Article 58 RSFSR.[1] Over 1,000,000 inmates in total served in Karlag over its history. The Karlag branch was located in Spassk, and during the Second World War, the NKVD of the USSR organized special camp No. 99, where over 70 thousand foreign prisoners of war of about 40 nationalities were held[5][6]. The prisoners of the Spassky branch of the Karlag were Rochus Mish and Ahiko Tetsuro[6]. A memorial to the victims of Karlag is now open

Kazakhstan Polygon Tour

Tours & Activities

Kazakhstan Polygon Tour

Heard of Chernobyl? You know, possibly the most famous accident in recent history, so disastrous that it’s almost unbelievable. Well this is Kazakhstan’s answer to Chernobyl – but it was done on purpose. The test site at Semeypalatinsk, or the Polygon, is where the Soviet Union did the majority of their nuclear testing, performing 456 nuclear tests between 1949 and 1989, with a total of 2,500 times the power of the bombs dropped at Hiroshima. The area used to be closed off, but is now open to those with permits. Although our tour is centred around exploring the test site and surrounding areas, we’ll start off in futuristic Nur Sultan (formerly known as Astana, formerly known as Akmola, formerly known as Tselinograd, and soon to be something else), and end in the cosmpolitan city, and former capital, of Almaty.
