Best time to travel to: Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is located in Central Asia and is mainly characterized by desert and steppe land. In the east, the country lies in the foothills of the mountain ranges of Afghanistan and China.

In the steppes and deserts, the summers are very warm to hot, and the humidity is very low. Winters are cool, but sunny and dry.

The mountain ranges in the East are snow-covered all year round. However, this region is also comparatively dry. The Almaty Climatetable is typical of the East.

In the North, however, the winter can be very long and quite harsh with frosty temperatures. In the North, the temperature differences between summer and winter are greatest. While in summer over 30 ° C can be reached, in winter the thermometer can drop to 30 ° C below zero.

Due to the sometimes extreme conditions in summer, the best time for Kazakhstan is April to June as well as September and October. If you want to go into the country in midsummer, you should visit the high altitude areas, which are then ideally suited for trekking tours. In Kazakhstan there is also a winter sports season, which extends from December to April.
