Join me on this adventurous 13-day journey through Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to photograph some of Central Asia’s
most striking and remote landscapes. Designed for photographers and travellers with an eye for the extraordinary, the
itinerary spans canyons, salt flats, and desert formations and the vibrant atmosphere of Nauryz, the Central Asian New
Year and spring festival.

The trip starts in Bishkek, with its green, wide boulevards before travelling overland to Almaty, Kazakhstan’s cultural capital.
From there, we head into the dramatic scenery of Charyn Canyon often likened to the Grand Canyon before continuing west,
to the remote Mangystau region, a geological frontier known for its layered hills and sculpted rock formations. We will photograph
the painted hills of Karatau, the imposing Mount Sherkala, the wind-carved cliffs of Airakty, and the expansive, minimalist beauty
of the Tuzbair Salt Flat. This vast landscape is ideal for drone photography. The journey ends in the port city of Aktau on the eastern
shore of the Caspian Sea.

This fascinating journey is limited to 10 photographers seeking access to places few have captured.
