When in Rome, do what the Romans do. When in Kazakhstan, eat heartily like the locals. Start with Kespe, a rich noodle soup made with tender meat. The thick, savoury broth melts away the mountain chill. Accompany it with salads and Baursak — golden, fluffy clouds of fried dough that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. These are so addictive that you will lose count of how many you ate. Move on to the main course - Kuyrdak, a flavoursome stew of meat and potatoes. Help yourself to more baursak along with it. Seal the deal with sweets, and of course, endless cups of tea!🫖 Kazakh cuisine wasn't born in a kitchen, but from the necessity of the steppe. The nomadic way of life has influenced both – the ingredients used as well as the cooking techniques. Try a traditional Kazakh meal on the #KazakhKarvaan tour with Khaki Tours from 24-29 Aug, '26. And if you are vegetarian, don’t worry – we arrange veg versions of the dishes, just for you. ➡️Book now at: rzp.io/rzp/OQ1RgMB ➡️Read the tour brochure here: drive.google.com/drive/folde… Missed our Online Fireside Chat for the #KazakhKarvaan tours to Kazakhstan in Autumn 2026?

Welcome to Wadi Rum — Jordan’s otherworldly desert where red sand, massive rock formations, and endless silence make you feel like you’ve stepped onto another planet. #DidYouKnow? Scientists and filmmakers both say the terrain of Wadi Rum is one of the closest matches of Mars on Earth. Landscapes from The Martian, Dune, and parts of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker were all shot here. Home to nomadic Bedouin tribes, Wadi Rum is an Arabian fairy-tale waiting to be discovered. Days here are all about jeep rides through rust-coloured valleys, climbing dunes, spotting camels and finding prehistoric inscriptions carved in the middle of nowhere. Nights? Desert camps, bonfires, Bedouin tea, and stargazing in skies so clear you forget cities exist. 🤔 If you’ve ever wondered what Mars might feel like, you can actually walk through it on Earth with Khaki Tours, on the #JordanJaunt tour. Details of our next tour in October coming soon. #Jordan #InternationalTours #WadiRum #Mars #StarWars #DesertSafari #Dunes

You might have visited the Jantar Mantar observatory in Jaipur, but #DidYouKnow there’s an even older astronomical observatory in Uzbekistan? Long before the giant sundials of Jantar Mantar were built, a 15th-century ‘scientist-king’ of Samarkand, Ulugh Beg, built an observatory that became the greatest scientific centre of the medieval world. Its most impressive feature was a gigantic stone sextant — an arc so large it was taller than a five-storey building. Part of it was built deep into the ground to keep the instrument perfectly stable while astronomers measured the positions of stars. Using nothing but shadows and stone, Ulugh Beg mapped over 1,000 stars and calculated the length of a year as 365 days, 6 hours, 10 minutes, and 8 seconds. Even without modern computers or telescopes, he was off by only about 20 minutes from the value we use today! After Ulugh Beg’s death, the observatory was destroyed in political turmoil and forgotten for centuries until archaeologists rediscovered it in 1908. Walk beside the original stone arc and stand inside the trench where astronomers once measured the movements of the universe hundreds of years ago on the #UltimateUzbek tour from 22-28 Sep, '26 with Khaki Tours, this autumn.

You’ve probably seen plenty of forests, but have you ever seen one underwater? Kazakhstan’s Kaindy Lake was created in 1911 when a powerful earthquake triggered a landslide that formed a natural dam. Rainwater slowly filled up inside the dammed area, flooding a spruce forest and giving rise to crystal-clear turquoise waters coloured by limestone deposits. Today, the ghostly white tree trunks pierce the water’s surface like masts of a sunken ship while the branches remain underwater. #DidYouKnow? The water stays so cold year-round that these submerged branches have remained intact for more than a century. See Kazakhstan's natural beauty with Khaki Tours on the #KazakhKarvaan tours this autumn.
