ABOUT THE 6-DAY TOUR
Mangystau is an incredible treasure chest filled with natural wonders. To fully explore its iconic sites, you'd need a week and a journey of about 1,500 kilometers. However, for those with limited time or who prefer not to spend multiple nights in a tent, we offer a condensed tour showcasing Mangystau's finest natural monuments.
Your adventure begins in Aktau. Within a few hours, you'll arrive at the Torysh valley, famed for its stone spheres, where you'll feel like a modern-day Sisyphus. Next, you'll visit the Kok-kala region, home to Jurassic-era rock formations, followed by a visit to the enigmatic Sherkala mountain, known for its mysterious allure. The day concludes with a tent stay at the base of the island mountains in the Airakty valley of castles.
