Unexpected fame: Instagram showcases the beauty of Kazakhstan to the world

Tengrinews.kz – The official Instagram account has featured stunning landscapes of Kazakhstan in a video captioned “Frolicking in the fields of Kazakhstan”, created by Kazakh videographer Dastan Mukhamedrakhim.

The cinematic clip captures the country’s vast steppes, lush green fields, and majestic mountains. The video has quickly gone viral, amassing millions of views and thousands of comments from users around the globe.

Viewers compared the visuals to “a movie trailer about freedom,” praising both the scenery and its emotional tone.

“Kazakhstan’s nature is the best!”, “Kazakh land is as beautiful as its people,” and “I need to visit Kazakhstan right now!” wrote users in the comments.

Mukhamedrakhim said the recognition came as a complete surprise.

“I still can’t believe I made it onto Instagram’s official page — their audience is even bigger than Ronaldo’s. When they reached out two weeks ago asking for my video, I was shocked. I didn’t think they would actually post it. When I saw it today, I was truly amazed,” he shared.

According to the videographer, Instagram’s team contacted him two weeks earlier to request permission to use the footage. He had no idea it would be featured on the platform’s main page.

Now, his work is showcasing Kazakhstan’s natural beauty to millions worldwide. Many users compared the country’s scenery to Iceland or New Zealand, leaving comments like “I never knew Kazakhstan was this beautiful!” and “These steppes look like something out of a dream.”
