I had an absolutely amazing time in Kazakhstan. It was my first ever solo trip and I can't brag enough about how beautiful, serene and untouched this country is. The people are so kind and friendly. I felt so much at ease and safe around the kind souls that I met at my journey. I had been to Almaty, kolsai, kaindy lakes, shymbulak mountain and every single place here is beautiful

I felt really safe and protected when I was around women. But the men behaved disgustingly — whistling after me, making comments, constantly hitting on me, even though I was dressed in full gorpcore style. The city itself is very beautiful and generally friendly, but I wouldn’t recommend going there alone.

I loved my time in Kazakhstan. I felt safe everywhere, including walking around at night in all the cities and at sites with my earphones in. I wasn't bothered, hassled, or harrassed by Kazakh men once. It was a relief and a pleasure! I visited Almaty and some of the mountains and lakes nearby; Astana; and Turrkistan. There were SO many interesting and beautiful things to see and do at each place. Almaty is a particularly gorgeous city: very livable and full of great museums, cafés, parks, theatres, churches, etc. The metro is great (and stunning!), taxis (I think it was Grab?) are cheap,...

I feel safe, because there are a lot of other people that also do it. You should take warm clothes, water, food, snacks, some sweets, maybe chocolate, spf, T-shirt, socks, good mood. No need to pay for entry or overnight stay, take everything with you, you just need to rent a tent and other accessories.

I felt myself safe, but i didn't walk alone during nights, only during a daylight. There aren't that many attractions to visit, but I felt myself more calm there. After being surrounded by city noise for a long time, I felt like Kokshetau was a calming reset place for me.

It’s very safe, at least you can leave your bag on the street and nobody is gonna take it or even touch it. About some sexy outfits it’s fine, like they can (not always) stare at you with some pressure, but unlikely they will say or do something to you

It's a quiet and cozy town with a low crime rate. There's almost nothing to do here, but it's a very cozy and friendly city.It's worth visiting the city at least once.everyone here knows each other and everyone is kind to each other

In Kazakhstan it's not safe to travel alone as a women, at least in Almaty and Astana it's more safe than in other cities. but it is not recommended to wear open clothes, because there are a lot of sexual harassers that can cat-call you

Very safe. I walk alone after dark a lot and haven't experienced any trouble in any part of the city ever. All streets are lit and paved, so there are none really dark spots a tourist can get into. Locals are pretty friendly too

If you’re alone , At night You can safely walk and chill at the city center . But in a small streets you should be careful because there are some men who tries to know you . But if you’re with your friends or with a guide that’s not a problem.
