  • This vlog is about my trip to Kazakhstan (part 2). I came to Almaty from Russia to join a hiking tour around the natural wonders of Central Asia. In this video, I'll show you some amazing attractions of Kazakhstan - Shymbulak Ski Resort, Kolsay Lakes, Charyn Canyon and more. Also, in this video I'll speak to Kazakh people and try Kazakh traditional food - beshbarmak and baursaki. Enjoy! :)

    My name is Elena. I'm currently living in Izhevsk, a small city somewhere in the middle of Russia. Here on my RUclips channel I mostly share videos about life in my country. From street food in Russian provincial towns and unusual places to visit here to some cool facts about Russian history, culture, lifestyle and mentality :)

    I was surprised by the good road conditions. After all, not many people live out there and still the roads are perfect. I have visited the other side of the Tianshan mountains in China, where the landscape and vegetation is the same. Your travel reports give viewers a good idea about places possible to visit. Just like you, I want to visit the mountains because I like to go away from crowded areas.

    • @elenastravels
      @elenastravels  Год назад +1

      Yeah, the roads were quite good in most of the places. Sometimes, we had to drive on sand roads though. I'd be glad if someone decided to visit the places I show in my videos. I believe they are definitely worth seeing 🙂

      It’s not surprising that the roads are great in Almaty especially the mountains. The UK has a lot of rain and heavy usage of vehicles. Oh, the headache you experienced is due to the thin air, glad you came down safely as prolonged exposure to high altitude can cause serious swelling in the brain. All the best

    то что вы поели у озера это не бешбармак)) скорее это мясо по казахски или просто суп с мясом. Настоящее застолье по казахски выглядит так: все собираются вокруг самого старшего и уважаемого человека на тапчане, мужчины как правило садятся раздельно от женщин, на огромных подносах приносят "бешбармак" - тесто, немного овощей и мясо конины и баранины, самый старший произносит молитву и пожелания и все приступают к трапезе. Помимо мяса казахи употребляют внутренности животных приготовленные особым образом, которые являются более полезными, вкусными и поставляют все витамины и минеральные вещества нужные человеку. Самый старший и уважаемый как правило разделывает голову барана, в детстве мой дед давал мне во время трапезы уши, почки и язык барана, с их вкусом не сравнится никакое мясо
