Is this THE MOST UNDERRATED COUNTRY in Central Asia? See why!
Hi, I’m Eli! I travel to different provinces of Russia and around the world. People say that I can’t afford these travels and I’m sponsored by the Kremlin or I’m a secret agent. Well I guess when you’re Russian it’s impossible to get rid of an image of a KGB spy so I will continue traveling and spying anyway. Recently I decided to explore the post Soviet space. I’ve already explored some cities and towns in Kazakhstan and in this video we will make a big journey through the steppes and you will see and decide for yourself whether it is worth visiting Kazakhstan. Many people don’t know that Kazakhstan played an important role in the Silk Road. The main route of it rans through the south of the country and the city where I started my travels Almaty was one of the trade craft and agricultural centers on the Silk Road. Our first stop was in Charyn Canyon and the ranger of the nature reserve Maxim was already waiting for me. I’ve seen many pictures of the Grand Canyon in the US of course and I’ve always imagined it something like this I’ve never been there but this feels very much like those pictures but there I heard that it’s very touristic and here I’m alone walking in this very long Canyon and uh the inspector is driving up there will meet me at the end of the trail. Wow this feels so wild. This is quite a popular touristic place of Kazakhstan it’s not even that far from Almaty. In summer this place must be crowded and now it’s the whole Canyon just for me so wild. So I really love cold plunges and I have an idea to do it in Charyn Canyon the current looks strong but I think it shouldn’t be that dangerous if I don’t swim too far. It is a very strong current calm down nice nice well chilling in Chatyn Canyon is a bit chilly it was amazing though I feel like today we’ve experienced all the seasons of the year we’ve had summer there were steps deserts and now it’s a snowy Frozen World Our car broke on the way and we came to a family that fixes cars and they invited us for breakfast and now kazak new year is coming it’s named Novruz and they are now cooking Novruz "dish" espcially for kazakh New Year This is a huge table. They were like "guests!!!" look at this Kazakhs have a talent to host guests they made this table so fast guests at kazakh house always get gifts and uh food to take with you
In this video: the Grand Canyon of Central Asia, driving on the former Silk Road, getting stuck in the steppes and being hosted by a Kazakh family in a village. Oh, and some views that my drone got to see ๐

How does AI travel to such remote places? Does some real girl go there and wear a green suit, and then they superimpose your image on it. Do you use a satellite to talk to people in real time? Say hi to Vika for me, she is a real girl!
You have to admit the cinematography and soundtrack make this as good as a Terrence Malik movie.
There are dozens of canyons in Utah, Arizona and Colorado that look like Grand Canyon.
It's not for the scenery that people don't travel to these places.

Central Asia's beauty is unbelievable, it's probably the most underrated region of the world. So much natural beauty and history.

You are the most beautiful and awesome secret agent ever known. This is a wonderful landscape, and yes, the experience of being alone in the desert is amazing. I live not far from the Grand Canyon, so you are invited and welcome to visit, Eli!
I think you could do much better than Lavrov!
It does look like Grand Canyon in Arizona. Privet iz Las Vegasa ๐
I honestly prefer the culture of Ukraine. Call me American.
Please visit Ukraine next.
I am from Canada with Ukrainian ancestors. I would like you to know that we here are against war and what our government is doing and causing this mess including sanctions I am sorry but there is little I can do.. I am ashamed of what our country has become. Love your channel, God bless! โคโฆโค
China receives oil and gas from Russia, which helps the economy greatly. Wheat from Russia helps Chinese people produce edible noodles, steamed buns, and dumplings.
Eli the mata hari kgb spy.

Interesting never knew Mongolia was so close to Russia, ie requesting admission to USSR. Have Chinese woman educated in Peking๐ as history teacher. Asked about Boxers and several other movements of that type occurred against empire, "primitive society" (a little natural commie plug by from Mao). Some Mexican gal out of my old high school using translator. She is programmed to hate whites but why is she always beating me at chess 60% of time. Ok she young clever and she likes beating whitie but I get my human interface. I am ready to leave but they me the urologist thru delays but who has got who here. I say time to leave but force said stay even after 4 infection not related the cancer. Chinese, Russian, French, Spanish, Filipino native tongue ???#@+/#$๐ฎ
THANK YOU Eli, the cinematography was awesome, the music .. awesome. I appreciate you letting we Americans know about the treasures in that part of the world. I appreciate your efforts.
Wow beautifull country with people and places thank you elli to showing us inner kazakh culture iam from hong kong
Saya suka Eli from Rusia ini. Saya tidak peduli jika ada yang bilang konten ini adalah konten propaganda Rusia atau apa, saya tidak peduli. Saya dari Indonesia musim tapi saya suka orang Rusia karena mereka punya seorang presiden kebanggaan yang hebat yaitu Mr. Putin. Saya juga suka Kazakhstan sebuah negara mayoritas muslim pecahan Uni Soviet. Dengan luas wilayah sekitar 2.745.000 km persegi dengan populasi yang tidak sampai 19 juta orang berarti daratannya jauh melebihi Indonesia. Indonesia luas wilayah kurang lebih 1.945.000 km persegi itupun 70% adalah lautan dengan populasi sekitar 279.000.000 orang. Salam dari Indonesia ๐๐ฎ๐ฉโฅ๏ธ๐ท๐บ
On the bright side KGB/FSB income is recession proof, so you've got that going for you.
