Travel insurance is mandatory for tours within Kazakhstan, as required by government regulations. It is included in the tour price and costs a maximum of $2 per day. This insurance provides coverage of up to $10,000 for unforeseen situations during the tour. While this travel insurance cannot be excluded from your package, there are no restrictions on any additional insurance you may choose to have for yourself.
For private tours, we do not have any specific restrictions; however, you should consider the tour itinerary to ensure it is appropriate for your children. For group tours, we recommend that children under 8 years old do not join. Tourists aged 8 to 99 years old may apply for any tour, considering their health and fitness.
Here are some general guidelines that are commonly observed in the regional community:
Greeting: A typical Kazakh greeting is a handshake, but for women, a gentle nod or a hand on the heart is also common.
Respect for Elders: Elders are highly respected in Kazakh culture. It’s customary to stand when an elder enters the room and to listen attentively to their advice.
Hospitality: Kazakhs are known for their hospitality. If invited to someone’s home, it’s polite to bring a small gift, such as sweets or fruit. Remove your shoes before entering the home, and be prepared to participate in a traditional tea or meal.
Meals: At meals, it’s customary to wait for the host to start before eating. Traditional foods like beshbarmak (a dish of boiled meat with pasta) are often served. It's polite to accept a small serving of food and to taste everything offered.
Blowing your nose at the table in Kazakhstan is generally considered impolite and should be avoided; instead, it is advisable to excuse yourself to a more private area to maintain decorum and hygiene.
Flatulence at the table or in public is considered impolite in Kazakhstan, so it's best to excuse yourself to a private area if you need to.
