Charyn Canyon is a dry gorge, washed out by meltwaters.
Charyn Canyon is located in the territory of the Charyn National Park, created to preserve natural and geological objects. The national park was established on February 23, 2004. A large number of rare and endangered animal species listed in the Red Book inhabit the territory of the park.
Charyn Canyon
Ayusai Waterfalls
Ayusai, which translates as Bear's Gorge in Russian, stretches for 6-7 km to the left of the Big Almaty Gorge. It primarily attracts tourists with its pristine beauty and waterfalls.
Altyn Emel National Park
The Singing Dune is considered one of the 7 natural wonders of Kazakhstan. It is a mountain of pure quartz sand without vegetation, with a steep slope. As the dry sand moves, the friction of sand grains against each other produces a prolonged, loud sound, similar to low singing. Hence the dune is named "Singing".

Lake Kaindy
Lake Kaindy
Lake Kaindy formed relatively recently, at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1910, a major earthquake occurred in the vicinity, causing a landslide in the Kaindy Gorge. A whole lake with a submerged forest inside formed on the mountain river Kaindy, which flowed through the gorge. The tops of the trees sticking out from the surface of the lake resemble lifeless spaces of scorched earth. But under the turquoise water, you can find beautifully preserved branches and needles.

    Mangystau Region

    Mangystau Region is a unique corner of Kazakhstan where endless deserts meet majestic mountains and shores of the Caspian Sea. This region possesses unique nature and cultural heritage, creating ideal locations for captivating shoots.

      Ibikty Sai Canyon
      Ibikty Sai Canyon
      Ibikty Sai Canyon consists of limestone rocks with unique whimsical shapes. Ibikty Sai can be considered one of the oldest natural monuments. The canyon formed approximately 66-41 million years ago, around the time the dinosaurs went extinct. Millions of years ago, turbulent river flows carved their way through all obstacles. Thus, gorges and mountain valleys formed. When the rivers dried up, the most beautiful natural objects—canyons—appeared in their place. Thus, time, water, and wind created a miracle of nature.
      Mount Bozzhyra
      Mount Bozzhyra, located in Central Kazakhstan, is an amazing place abounding with stone formations that inspire awe and imagination. This unique natural phenomenon consists of rock formations called "Fangs." Over a long period of erosion and the effects of wind and water, the edges of the mountain have become beautiful rock formations, like sculptural masterpieces. Visitors can watch the amazing stone figures and imagine themselves in a world of fantastic tales.

      City of Aktau
      City of Aktau
      Aktau city, located in the southwest of the country on the shores of the Caspian Sea, is considered one of the major cities of Kazakhstan and the country's only port. "White Mountain" is what this name translates to locally, accurately characterizing the local landscape. But the main attraction and pearl of Aktau is the sea, boundless and fantastically beautiful. The seabed of the Caspian is rocky, the beaches are predominantly fine-pebbly, and in places sandy. Along the coastline, picturesque gentle boulders are scattered. In the city center, the shore is cliffy and rocky. A wonderful panorama of the sea bay opens up from here.

      Turkestan Region
      Turkestan Region is famous for masterpieces of ancient architecture and natural landscapes. Here is located one of the main attractions of Kazakhstan—the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. This mausoleum is such an important Muslim shrine that it has earned the city the title of the spiritual capital of the Turkic world.

      Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi

      The construction of the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi was carried out from 1385 to 1405, and the architectural monument was erected at the behest of Emir Timur (Tamerlane) in honor of the well-known Eastern Sufi (ancient Turkic) poet and preacher Ahmed Yasawi at the place where his modest tomb previously stood. The beginning of the construction of the new mausoleum on the site of the old and dilapidated one marked Tamerlane's victory over Khan Tokhtamysh, ruler of the Golden Horde.
      Ancient City of Sauran
      This exceptional place is worth visiting to see the picturesque ruins of the ancient city, get closer to its era, and the way of life of people in the Middle Ages.
      Ancient City of Otrar
      One of the oldest cities in Central Asia.
      Otrar, also known earlier as Farab, is one of the oldest cities in Central Asia, which served as a peculiar center of trade, craft, art, and additionally had important diplomatic and military-strategic significance. Today, it is a bright historical and archaeological landmark of the Turkestan Region.

      Otrar, having existed for about two millennia, today is a historical place where joint activities with the international organization UNESCO are conducted to preserve monuments. This place superbly conveys the cultural spirit of bygone times and acquaints every "city guest" with its unique history.
      Aksu River Canyon
      One of the main attractions of the Turkestan Region. In terms of size, Aksu is considered one of the largest and deepest canyons in Central Asia. The descent into the canyon is quite difficult, and the sheer riverbanks in many sections make it generally impassable. The sun-warmed rocks and the mountain river, providing air moisture, create a microclimate of a natural greenhouse in the canyon; in addition to the plants found in the rest of the reserve, you can also see horsetails, ferns, and relic plants from long-gone epochs.

      Akmeşit Cave

      A unique and mysterious place not only of the Turkestan Region but also of all Kazakhstan
      The uniqueness of the cave lies in the fact that it is warmer inside than outside in winter, and cooler in spring, on the contrary. Moreover, no trees grow in the vicinity of the cave, but inside it is a so-called "living corner"—a small world with its own ecosystem. This really looks very unusual, striking the imagination of any tourist.

      Akmola Region
      Marvelous nature, just 60-70 km from Kokshetau—and here you are in the mountains, in a spruce forest, or on the shore of the most beautiful lake. It is no wonder that the year-round resorts of Zerenda and Burabay (Borovoe) are located here.
      Borovoe
      Borovoe
      Borovoe is a true oasis in the midst of the Kazakh steppe. This amazingly beautiful place is located in the territory of the "Burabay" park. The resort attracts guests with its pristine nature, the cleanest air, lakes, picturesque mountain peaks, and the greenery of coniferous forests. Local residents call this corner the "Kazakh Switzerland".
      Kobeytuz
      Once every few years, Kobeytuz turns pink. This shade is imparted by Dunaliella salina algae, which live in saline seas. Depending on the concentration of microorganisms, the pink color can vary. These same algae color the world-famous pink lakes in Australia and Canada.
      Kobeytuz
      Astana
      The capital of Kazakhstan, Astana, located in the very heart of the Eurasian continent, is equally accessible and open from all sides of the world. The city attracts guests with its unusual appearance and unique architectural solutions, as well as cultural, mass, and business events of international level.
      Astana is a unique combination of innovative architecture and dynamic urban landscapes, making it the perfect place for filming. Modern skyscrapers, impressive monuments, and diverse cultural venues provide limitless opportunities for visualization. This capital combines innovation and accessibility, providing ideal conditions for film production thanks to developed infrastructure and easy access to necessary resources.

      For visually impressive filming in Astana, such buildings as "Abu Dhabi Plaza"—the tallest skyscraper in Central Asia, and "Bayterek"—a symbolic tower and one of the most recognizable landmarks of the city, can be highlighted. These objects are not only architecturally outstanding but also serve as symbols of modern Kazakhstan, adding significance and uniqueness to any filming.

      National Color of Kazakhstan
      In your project, we will show scenes where horses graze against the backdrop of the Kazakh steppes, creating picturesque views. We will also introduce the audience to traditional Kazakh dishes:
      beshbarmak—a meat dish served with homemade noodles and a rich broth; kazy—a horse meat sausage known for its rich flavor; and kumys—a beverage made from mare's milk, valued for its nutritional properties. These elements will help convey the atmosphere of Kazakh culinary tradition and cultural heritage.
