Kazakhstan is a country in Asia with a population of 19,826,400. Kazakhstan, a vast land of steppes and nomads, is known for its eagle hunters, yurts, and a tradition of hospitality to travelers.

Islam is the main faith, but shamanic rituals, ancestor veneration, and the celebration of Nauryz (spring equinox) remain important, especially in rural areas.
