Holidays in Kapchagay

Been partying too much after work? Dying for a break and a few quiet nights? Kapchagay has your name all over it. It sits among the mountains, steppe and desert landscapes of Kazakhstan — nice and off the beaten track. (We reckon you'll feel so relaxed, you'll be under the covers by sunset!)

It's situated 920 kilometres southeast of Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan.

The little ones won't be disappointed by a fun-filled excursion to Kapchagay Waterpark.

You shouldn't miss the splendid landscapes of Central Park. It's a marvellous place to make the most of a clear day.

If your visit happens to coincide with a good dump of snow, you'll see many skiers and snowboarders loading up their cars for some teeth-chattering thrills at Shymbulak Ski Resort.

Seeking some other close-by destinations? Kamennoye Plato is only 40 kilometres to the south, so jump in the car and start exploring! Alternatively, Talgar, 65 kilometres south of Kapchagay, is also worthy of a day trip.

Tourists often make the journey to Almaty. This place is 70 kilometres to the south and not far from Presidential Palace, Republic Square and Almaty Tower. If you're staying a while, remember to stop by Almaty Cathedral and the National Museum of Kazakhstan.

An invigorating way to see the surrounding area is to go on an outdoor adventure. Hiking is one of the most popular pastimes in these parts. But if that's not your thing, you could always go horse riding.

Whether or not you consider yourself religious, exploring one of the surrounding mosques is a terrific opportunity to familiarise yourself with the area's spirituality.

'There is no love sincerer than the love of food,' George Bernard Shaw once said, but add travel to the mix and it's a match made in heaven. You're invited to indulge in your two loves by eating and drinking your way through Kazakhstan.

Sour milk and rice are two of the main ingredients in many of the dishes here. If you don't have a taste for them already, you may by the end of your holiday!

While Kapchagay offers an assortment of culinary delights, you shouldn't leave without sampling pelmani (meat dumplings) and basturma (mutton). Considered iconic local dishes, you'll have to put them on your must-eat list if you truly want to taste this destination.

If you never say no to dessert, you won't be disappointed. Make sure you try шек-шек (fried unleavened dough balls), a scrumptious treat that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

You can expect an air of fever and excitement around the 16th of December. The locals will be preparing for Independence Day, a day of nation-wide celebrations.

Getting to your plane on time can be a bit of an ordeal. However, it won't be too bad if you're prepared. The nearest terminal, Almaty International Airport (ALA), is 55 kilometres to the south.
