The World Nomad Games tour in Kazakhstan 2024

Planet

In the spirit of every expedition we embark upon, this itinerary is crafted not just for exploration but also to leave a positive imprint on both the local community and the wider environment. Our steadfast commitment to this ethos is evident in the meticulous selection of itineraries and accommodations.

We give precedence to human-powered transportation whenever practical, embracing urban walking tours and wilderness hiking experiences. By immersing ourselves in these sustainable travel methods, we reduce our ecological footprint and nurture a profound connection with the places we explore.

Indulge your taste buds at restaurants catering to diverse dietary preferences, presenting a variety of delightful options for vegetarians and vegans. While the choices are thoughtfully curated, they are consistently available, ensuring a gratifying culinary experience for all.

Moreover, our dedication to sustainability extends to our culinary choices. Whenever possible, we source local and seasonal ingredients. Notably, our partnership with the Kazzhol Hotel Corporation goes beyond traditional hospitality – they cultivate their own produce on a dedicated farm, prioritising organic practices in the cultivation of vegetables and fruits.

In our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, we actively minimize the use of plastic bags and bottles throughout our journeys. Our travelers are encouraged to carry their own reusable water bottles, a sustainable choice that aligns with our mission. To support this initiative, we provide ample access to high-capacity drinking water, ensuring a convenient and eco-friendly way for our customers to stay hydrated.

The vehicles used are equipped with specialised compartments, featuring designated areas for food waste and recyclables. This thoughtful design ensures that no litter finds its way outside, as our passengers conscientiously dispose of waste within the vehicle. By implementing this system, we not only maintain the cleanliness of our surroundings but also facilitate the efficient collection and responsible disposal of waste materials, reinforcing our commitment to a greener travel experience.

People

Throughout our journey, we will be staying at a total of three accommodations, all of which are charming locally owned establishments. Our commitment to supporting the communities we explore is evident in our employment of local guides and drivers in each city we visit.

If visiting the guesthouse in Kolsai Lakes, it's not just a stay; it's an immersive experience. We make a point to visit the home of a local family, where a warm, home-cooked lunch awaits, providing a genuine connection to the culture.

Our dedication to community extends to our partners' team, as all employed individuals—be they guides, drivers, or assistants—are locals. Ensuring fair compensation, we uphold a minimum wage standard for everyone involved, fostering a positive and mutually beneficial relationship.

While we may not have a written policy, our principles are crystal clear. We uphold liberal standards and vehemently oppose any form of discrimination, whether based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or nationality. Our adventure proudly welcomes the LGBTQ+ community, cultivating an atmosphere of inclusivity.

At the heart of our mission is a deep respect for all our customers. We go the extra mile to create a comfortable and enjoyable experience, catering to diverse needs. From accommodating those with limited mobility, vision, or hearing to addressing cognitive challenges, we prioritise the happiness and well-being of every individual on our journey.
