KAZAKHSTAN | Undiscovered Country in Central Asia

[@jr_8292]

I absolutely loved Kazakhstan when I went there - the vast distances between the places and the high quality of the trains really makes the intercity experience something special! Thanks for showing Kazakhstan to the world

[@19bendunk]

Kazakh people seems wonderful and warm

[@ageoflove1980]

Sure is simple living but the nature is gorgeous, the air is clean, the land is peaceful and people do seems to be able live their lives relatively undisturbed. Those simple facts make it immediately a better place to be than many others.

[@charlottethien3749]

Gabriel, Those canyons , cliffs, mountains , rocks everywhere, are just amazing . The trees and vegetation seem sparse. A whole course of geography and geology in one massive country . Thank you for always teaching us something new about the world !

[@dianach-fl7fw]

I found the art of traveling in your channel, I love amazing Greece and I jumped here to see what Kazakhstan is looks like

[@lynetteray2146]

In 2008 there was no visitor center and no steps down the side of the canyon or sturdy railings. It was just a metal chain that you held on to. Most of us just slid down the dirt sitting down. Thankfully, our ride drove into the canyon to pick us up.

[@designdoctor247]

thank u for this interesting comment. it helps us learn how things change.

How beautiful is the scenery. Such different landscapes and that lake was postcard perfect. It was really great to see some of the countryside. Good tour choice, you really have captured the beauty of Kazakhstan on camera. ❤

[@thrivingnow7843]

I love the sandy dirt trail through the rocky mountain desert terrain. 🏜️🧡💛

[@annhall1448]

That's exactly what I thought it looks just like out west in Canada. I'm Canadian. The view of the lake and the walk through the woods is so beautiful. I never thought it would look like that there.

You should get out more Anni

Kazakhstan certainly seems very interesting with modern cities and wild nature, those canyons i bet are great for star gazing!!

[@TheSwede70]

Great video. Really beautiful nature. Going there some time soon 🙂 Funny that the rowing was done backwards. Never tried it that way. 🙂

[@fanstream]

Glad you got to see some nature sites outside Almaty. the kazak people are so warm and friendly. They showed me wonderful hospitality during my trip there. Enjoy your travels ahead, Gabriel :)

[@stefanexplores]

Nothing like what was portrayed in Borat the movie! Awesome stuff, Gabe. Thanks for bringing us along :D

Hamburger. Hamburger. No hot dog that was funny. Pretty contrast in landscape. River against the stark land. Great tour for only 20 bucks!! Canyons are huge. Awesome video !! Lunch time spread was much better!! Continue on a safe journey 🧡🌼🧡🌼🧡

[@usbankusa]

Thanks for the eye-opening tour of Kazakhstan. It looked awesome.

[@SwiftyTravels]

What an interesting landscape! A cross between utah and southern New Mexico!

[@yellowbird500]

Another amazing video! Thank you. One small tip, it is easier to row if you pull the oars through the water instead of pushing them. It’s counter intuitive because you are then moving backwards through the water.

[@roygoad2870]

I’ve seen this whole area, by plane going from London to Bangkok, often wondered what it’s really like on the ground. There’s not one tree for thousands of miles and everywhere looks like a hilly dessert, with just a few small towns dotted around!

[@quinnerefc]

I recognise you! Steady Eddies channel 😆🤣

[@Originalman144]

Great moment rolling through the Kazak landscape with the song "Light" -- really incredible

[@Victor_31_]

What a great day trip. I really like the editing and the music. Thank you for sharing this, Gabriel.

[@MtBakerlife]

Kind of reminds me of Monument Valley in Utah, US. Thanks for taking us along! ✌🏼

[@oscarpicon7164]

Mother Earth is so beautiful. Thank you, sir.

[@Deadfoot-Dan]

There is something to be said about lack of development, and how this allows natural landscapes to reveal their true beauty. That was a gorgeous canyon.

[@effie-Toronto]

This was an amazing video ..........thank you Gabe

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Excellent, glad to hear it.

[@conniedean3787]

So beautiful 🌞

[@Seanney25582]

There are some amazing contrast in scenery, the canyon looks like somewhere from a western movie and the lake and mountains look like Jasper in Alberta Canada

[@andrewmastrandonas5123]

Wow, I had no idea that parts of this country looked like UT or AZ. Nice job Gabe!

[@sandradalessandro2935]

Great. Song no power not a saint to spread these words across this land. All we need is luv Gabe. Excellent song!! ❤❤❤

Kazakhstan seems to b quite a big country. Broad roads and vast open spaces in cities are common sights. Thanks for the video

Gabriel, I love the song & the houses! ... I have seen Faith, I have seen Grace.... Beautiful! Bless You!

[@Ojstra]

Amazing tour, amazing video. Fall colors along the desert canyon look very gorgeous. Such incredible that so very different landscapes (desert, canyons, Canada-like mountainous lake region) can all be found and visited in one day in Kazakhstan near Almaty as in the North America it would take like thousands of miles and much more days to see the same diversity. It also looks as the untouched version of the "Wild West", just like the real Wild West perhaps looked like in the 19th or 18th century. A really positive surprise, just like Azerbaijan was.

[@ЛюбомирСтоянов-э9щ]

Thank you very much for sharing this tour. This is a perfect chance to get to know the nature of the countryside in Kazahstan. Everything you show is interesting. I like the song full of emotion.

[@themissionproductions2336]

Yeah the lake looks like Banff national park in Alberta, also great choice of background music, well done

[@jalalal-haddad7414]

Good morning from California. 4:45 AM. In Russian they ask visitors to not leave graffiti and threaten by penalty. Recently I watched video about Nebit-Dag in Turkmenia and graffiti is a real problem there.

Kazakhstan looks amazing. Thanks for showing us. Sounds like you're heading to India or Nepal Himalayas next!? Very jealous! I was there exactly 25 yrs ago. Weather was perfect up in the Annapurna range. Hopefully it's the same now 😊

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, that was spectacular you could be anywhere in the world with those rock formations and lakes just a beautiful experience, and look you are speaking Spanish with someone from Kazakhstan. I think with language there are traditional and then there is slang whether it's English or some other language, not a dialect which is like a spin-off but actual slang which is made up of words within the same vernacular. Meaning words used that have dual meanings every language has this embedded in it and changes over generations.

[@witlof5492]

I need advice, Gabe. Since losing my wife, I have been dealing with anxiety. Your videos are helping to boost my confidence, but how can I start getting back into getting out there slowly? Would you suggest taking it in steps? Or go out slowly building it like that?

[@TheEddieToro]

Row, Row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily, Merrily life is but a dream. Practicing that Spanish. Here's some from Colombia. Como le va parcero? La esta pasando bueno en Kazakhstan? Keep going Gabe!

[@brucebenson5908]

Talk about off the beaten path. The scenery went from blah to spectacular. btw when I was a kid in summer camp they taught us to row the boat with the pointy end going forward. This was a great video.

Stop rowing backwards! Look at the shape of the boat and take it from there :) Stay sitting but pull with the oars instead of pushing.

Why did you put the food price in Euros? Just curious. Those landscapes remind me of parts of Argentina. So desolate, I love it.

If I include the price in the Kazakh tenge then most of my viewers won't know how much that is. By showing the prices in euros and dollars a large percentage of my audience will understand how much it costs.

Gabriel, if I were you, I would not make fun of the English translations of whatever or diss them publicly on KZbin. It is not that not hard to figure out what they mean, and they know English better than you might know Kazakh, so ... Best not to litter period, anywhere, I would say.

Not being critical of your rowing ability, but u do know u were rowing backwards, the pointy end of the boat is the front, it cuts through the water much easier 🤣🤣

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

We were going forwards, I don't think you ever saw the front of the boat in the video.

[@JackTaudi]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos the girls were in the bow of the boat weren’t they 🤔 Anyway, when u row your back is towards where u you are going 👌But hey, u were out having a bit of fun, it doesn’t matter 👌

[@SergeChel]

@@GabrielTravelerVideos you have to face the back side of the boat, this makes it much easier for your hands

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

@@SergeChel But then you can't see where you're going and might cause a tragic boating accident and end up in a Kazakhstani jail. 😛But seriously, I get that it's easier on your arms, however conditions were mild and we weren't going far, I'd rather be looking at where I'm going.

Why you think people in towns in Kazakhstan speak only Russian. We 13 millions of Kazakhs in Kazakhstan all speak kazakh our native language. Russian is functioning just to speak with other minorities like Russians, Ukrainians and so on.
