Parks Places Map
Parks in Kazakhstan:
Ile-Alatau National Park
You should definitely try some local guides. I went with one who knew all the hidden gems, and I saved hours of wandering aimlessly. Totally worth it!
Park of the First President
If you're into photography, I recommend visiting around sunset. The lighting is beautiful, and you can avoid some of the crowds. It makes for some awesome pics!
Look for the best viewpoints! I found a hidden spot that overlooks the city. If you’re up for a little adventure, it’s totally worth the climb!
Park 28 Panfilov
Charyn State National Nature Park
Bayanaul National Park
You must visit in early morning or just before sunset for that magical lighting. The views are stunning, especially at sunset, and way less crowded compared to midday.
Altyn-Emel National Park
Bring cash! Many of the local vendors and park fees don't accept cards. I ran out of cash and it was a hassle finding an ATM nearby. It's best to be prepared.
