Exchange for Students.Cdr Kazakhstan: Facts and Figures State: Independent since 1991. Political system - Republic; authoritarian presidential rule, with little power outside the executive branch. Capital – Astana. Largest city - Almaty. Kazakhstan population – over 17 million (over 130 nationalities and 30 ethnic groups: 57% Kazakh, 30% Russian, 4% German, 3% Ukrainian: other significant minorities include Uighurs, Uzbeks, Belorussians, Dungans, Koreans, Chechens, and Greeks). Religion – Islam (70%), Christianity. Area – 2,725 thousand sq km; the size of Western Europe; the 9th largest in the world. President – Mr. Nursultan Nazarbayev. Language: The official language is Kazakh, a Turkic language closely related to Kyrgyz and Turkish. The Government has undertaken to replace the Russian Cyrillic alphabet with the Turkish version of the Roman alphabet. However, the Cyrillic alphabet is currently still in general use, and most people in the cities speak Russian, whereas in rural areas people tend to speak only Kazakh. The younger generation and people working in tourism often speak English. Tatar, Uighur and other regional languages and dialects are also spoken. Dress in Kazakhstan Kazakhstanis tend to dress a lot more formally than most Americans or Europeans. Most nightclubs will have a dress code so don't expect to go dancing in jeans and trainers. Women face few social restrictions on dress, at least in the cities. Weather The Climate in Kazakhstan is continental. In summer the temperatures average more than 30 °C (86 °F) and in winter average −20 °C (−4.0 °F). Country has four seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn. National holidays (KIMEP is closed): January 1-2 – New Year January 7 – Orthodox Christmas March 8 – International Women's Day March 21-23 – Nauryz (Traditional holiday of Spring, ancient Turkic New Year) May 1 – Day of Unity of Peoples of Kazakhstan May 7– Day of defenders of motherland May 9 – Victory Day July 6 – Capital Day August 30 – Constitution Day December 1– Day of the First President of Kazakhstan December 16 – Independence Day Almaty city map is available at www.2gis.kz ; www.maps.google.com The city of Almaty KIMEP is located in the heart of the flourishing city of Almaty, the commercial capital of Kazakhstan. With population of over 2 million people, Almaty as the biggest city in Kazakhstan is also one of the most beautiful cities of Central Asia. Almaty has perhaps one of the most striking and beautiful locations of any city in the world. Located in the spectacular foothills of the Zailishkiy Alatau mountains with its skating rink Medeo and skiing resort Chymbulak and nature beauties as Kulsay lakes, Charyn canyon, sandy dunes in the National Park Altyn-Emel, Almaty is a pleasant city to live in, vibrant, green, and with a thriving cosmopolitan culture. The impressive mountains are only half an hour's drive from the city center. In 2011 Almaty hosted The Asian Winter Games. KIMEP is an ideal place for international students to study and Almaty a great place to travel. The diversity of the city comes from the tolerant, cosmopolitan, and multicultural population and from its renowned cultural facilities and various alternative and smaller-scale cultural events. British portal The Rough Guide has rated cities worth visiting in 2014. Almaty city is among top 10: "It is no longer the capital (that title went to Astana in 1997) but Almaty remains Kazakhstan's the most alluring city. Its setting along the old Silk Road, with rippling mountains all around, is as exotic as they come. Add this to the recent economic boom, which has seen luxury brands pumping millions into new developments".

This is a tough trip due to the altitude and the terrain. We gain elevation slowly to ease acclimation and never sleep higher than 3,000 m. Due to the remoteness of the terrain, we’ll be camping for 10 nights. It is the combination of conditions – altitude, weather, topography, and overall environment – that makes this a challenging tour and a test of sustained riding. Vehicle support, which allows cyclists the option to get into the truck as needed, is available on all cycling days except for the heli-biking day. The helicopter lifts are dependent on weather conditions. Suitability: This trip is designed for the experienced cyclist with a high level of fitness. The lack of oxygen at the high altitudes we’ll be cycling at, as well as the climbs we’ll be doing, means that this is a tough trip, and you'll enjoy it much more if you have a good level of stamina and fitness.

In his speech at the World Summit for Sustainable Development, the President of Kazakhstan reminded the world community of the global scale of the processes that are underway, and called for prevention of irreversible harm to the environment in order to preserve the necessary life resources for our descendants. Environmental safety and sustainable development issues are of vital importance for Kazakhstan. Water resource deficit and significant land degradation, the Aral Sea disaster, the aftermath of the nuclear tests, accumulation of industrial waste, oil spills – all these problems are no longer fall under the category of environmental ones. Many of these problems are regional and even global. Coordinated interaction between the mankind and the environment and ensuring a safe environment are one of the priorities of the long-term Kazakhstan-2030 Strategy.
