Inshallah.

Finally it’s getting a bit warmer out here on the frozen steppes. Astana is not as exciting a place to live as Almaty for outdoor fun, but over the years we’ve discovered a few places to go. I’ve posted on some of them before like the yurt camp near Astana and Eco-Village where you can actually ride horses. Never been out to the reservoir, but I always see my neighbors packing up on the weekends with their Big Agnes tents, shashlik grills, and camping supplies to go out there. One of these days I’ll have to try some camping here, but haven’t been able to find the time to do much more than go up to Boraboe a few times a year and stay in a guest house.

Any suggestions for good outdoors activities and places to go outside of Astana?
