Welcome to the website of Central Asia Birding

Central Asia Birding is the first company devoted to birding and nature holidays to Central Asia. We offer unique tours that will lead you to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Kazakhstan is the land of endless steppe landscapes, fantastic mountain scenery and matchless avifauna. Kyrgyzstan is a land of mountains, green valleys, gorgeous plants, tulips, friendly people and an undiscovered avifauna. If you are interested in Flora or Fauna, this are the places for you!!

We offer fixed departure tours as well as private, customised tours for small groups. All tours are guided by local professional ornithologists. We are also proud to be working with the Dutch ornithologist Arend Wassink, author of the book Birds of Kazakhstan. Ecotourism is important to us therefore we use guidelines set up by the International Tourism Society

This full-colour book brings together invaluable information on status, habitats, distribution and migration on the birds of Kazakhstan, packed into 288 pages. All 498 species recorded in Kazakhstan (up to early 2007) are covered, and more than 900 maps and graphs give their breeding and temporal distribution. The Birds of Kazakhstan is an essential reference for anyone with an interest in the avifauna of Kazakhstan and Central Asia
