Kazakhstan is the largest state in the Central Asia. It extends some 1900 kilometers from the Volga River in the West to the Altai Mountains in the East and about 1300 kilometers from the Siberia plain in the North to the Central Asia desert in the South.

In spring green grass and flowers of different colours cover flat lands and hills.
