A straight-line figure tells you how places sit relative to each other, not how far you drive: roads can be much longer, especially in the mountains. Check the place's page for travel time.

A straight line can mislead you by a factor of nearly three

Use this tool to compare places, not to plan a day. On the map, Kolsai looks closer to Almaty than Charyn Canyon. By road it is the longer trip.

What to pack for Kazakhstan: a checklist by season and place

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Basic list for any trip

Passport or ID. Documents are checked at posts and when you arrange permits.
Offline map and saved pages. Outside cities there is not always a signal.
Power bank. On the road your phone is also your map, torch and link to help.
Water supply. There may be no shop or spring along the way.
Your own medicines and a simple first-aid kit. Bring what you normally use: a pharmacy may be far away.

The list follows simple rules from season, elevation and trip type. It is a reminder and does not replace advice from a doctor, a guide or park staff.
