Mangistau 360°: the most complete expedition on the peninsula
Description:
This ten-day jeep tour is a real journey into the heart of Mangystau, a region that is rightly called “another planet.” There are no usual hiking trails, but there is absolute silence, grandiose scale and landscapes formed over millions of years, when these lands were the bottom of the ancient Tethys Ocean.
In 10 days you will see the most impressive locations of the peninsula: the legendary Karagiye depression, the alien salt marshes of Karynzharyk, the harsh repairs of the Ustyurt plateau and panoramic points from which it takes your breath away. You are waiting for Bozhira in all its manifestations - the upper, middle and lower plateau with snow-white canyons, sharp ridges and fantastic forms of rocks. You will walk along the pink and white hills of Kyzyl Kup, see the mirror expanses of Tuzbair and the “stone castles” of Airakta.
The route combines natural wonders and living history: the rock mosques of Shakpak-Ata, the ancient canyons of Karakabaka, the mysterious failure of Zhygalgan and the green oases of Kapamsai and Tamshaly. The finale of the trip will be the coast of the Caspian Sea - the beaches of Saura, Blue Bay and Maykin Kurgan with crystal clear water and shell shores.
Overnights under the starry sky, dinners by the fire, fresh air and complete disconnection from the bustle of the city make this tour an ideal choice for those who are looking not just for rest, but for a real adventure. This is a route for travelers who want to see the authentic, wild and powerful Mangystau, as only a few people know it.
