Ustyurt: Another planet

Three-day off-road tour through the most impressive landscapes of the Mangyshlak Peninsula. This trip is created for those who want to see the wild and pristine nature of Ustyurt without haste and in a comfortable format.

You are waiting for the salt marshes of Karynjaryk, the golden barkhans of Seneca, the colorful clays of Kyzyl Kup and the nights under the starry sky far from civilization.
