Ventures Birding & Natural History Tours
Southeastern Kazakhstan offers endless steppes, lakes, rivers, and pine-covered
mountains. Because of the centralized geographic location, birds indicative of
both the Oriental and Western Palearctic regions can be found. From the stony
deserts near the former capital, Almaty (Alma-Ata), to the Tien Shan Mountains
close to the Chinese border, the variety of landscapes will amaze and the
birding is nothing short of spectacular. Even their names evoke the rugged
landscape and remote mystery associated with this part of the world. Many of the
birds we will be seeing are little known and indeed, very rare vagrants to
Western Europe. Birding tours are new in Kazakhstan, and we are among the first
US-based tours to spread our wings to explore this part of the world.
Accommodations are comfortable, yet simple and food comprises mostly of good
locally prepared foods. Bring your sense of adventure and join us for a real
interesting exploration of the birds and scenery of Kazakhstan.
