Kazakhstan
If you're not a fan of endless semi-arid steppe and decaying industrial cities, Kazakstan may seem bleak as a month-old biscuit. And if it sometimes looks like the landscape has suffered from hundreds of nuclear explosions, well, parts of it have - ever since Russian rocket scientists started using Kazakstan as a sandpit in the late 1940s. But any country which uses a headless goat's carcass as a polo puck obviously has lots to offer.

The chief exceptions to this relentless desolation are the cosmopolitan and one-time capital, Almaty, and the spectacular spurs of the Tian Shan and Altai mountains on the country's southern and eastern borders. Most travellers use Kazakstan as a staging post to visit the more famous Central Asian destinations, but those who enjoy remoteness, wide open spaces, long hypnotic train rides and horse sausage will definitely be in their element.
