Steppe, Saddles and Sauna: Horse Tour to a Historic Mausoleum
Most day tours from Astana show you the city. This one takes you to Taiburyldyn Shabysy Ranch, a working horse ranch build around three horse breeds, a kitchen that produces three meals a day from scratch, and a private sauna on the property. You'll ride in the morning along the river, eat a traditional Kazakh meal at the ranch, then ride out in the afternoon to the mausoleum of Kabanbai Batyr, dedicated to Kazakhstan's most significant historical heroes, and one most visitors never reach. Entry to the inside is included, and your guide will tell you exactly who Kabanbai was and why the country cherishes his deeds. The sauna is already warm by the time you're back. Dinner at the ranch in the evening before the return to Astana. Beginners welcome. Non-riders too.
