I had an incredible experience on the Discover the Culture of Kazakh Nomads Tour! The Huns Ethno Village was like stepping back in time—learning about yurts and Kazakh traditions was fascinating. The highlight for me was the “Sarbaz” show with horse games and the vibrant Kara Zhorga dance. Shahina Travel did an excellent job organizing everything, from the comfortable transport to the delicious lunch of plov and baursaks. It was both educational and fun, with activities like archery and even time to relax by the Altybakan swing. Thank you, Shahina Travel, for such a well-curated and unique day! Highly recommended to anyone visiting Kazakhstan.
