Meet Yerlan, Your Guide

I’m Yerlan Amankyeld, a tourism professional with years of experience guiding tours in Mongolia and managing my own guesthouse. Now based in Kazakhstan with my daughter Lora, I founded KazakhAdventures to create authentic and exciting travel experiences across this remarkable country.

I am a professional hiking and horse-riding guide, specializing in mountain trekking, steppe trails, and nomadic horse-riding experiences. We design tailor-made Kazakhstan tours for international travelers, including families and English-speaking guests, showcasing the country’s diverse landscapes, rich nomadic culture, and breathtaking nature—from alpine valleys and canyons to remote villages and wild steppe.

In addition to my tourism background, I bring professional experience as a Health and Safety Manager in the mining industry, ensuring every tour is not only inspiring and adventurous but also well-planned, risk-assessed, and safety-focused.

Having traveled to over 30 countries, including the USA, Scotland, and New Zealand, I understand what travelers value most: authenticity, comfort, and meaningful experiences. My passion is connecting people with places in a way that feels personal, memorable, and truly rewarding.

Join KazakhAdventures and discover Kazakhstan—and Central Asia—through the guidance of a local hiking and horse-riding expert.
