The three destinations that rank among the author's favorites in Kazakhstan are: 1. The Altai Mountains in the far northeast of the country, known for their forests, villages, and scenic beauty. 2. Astana's Pyramid of Peace and modern buildings celebrating the city's new status as capital. 3. Lake Korgalzhyn, over 1,500m above sea level, home to herds of goats and deer and the basis for an intriguing spa treatment program.

1. Kazakhstan is a beautiful tourist destination. Paul Brummel,
HM Ambassador to Kazakhstan explores this diverse region
