Mangystau Multi-Day Jeep Tour With Camping & Desert Landscapes｜Kazakhstan

Begin your adventure in Aktau, where you meet your guide and team, get an overview of the route, and prepare for the first expedition.

Your adventure begins at Tamshaly Gorge, a hidden oasis with fresh spring water and a waterfall, perfect for soaking in the tranquility of nature. Next, explore Zhygalkan, a massive natural depression with gently sloping rocks and scattered boulders forming a near-perfect natural amphitheater.

Continue to Sultan Epe, an underground mosque steeped in local legends, and Kenty Baba, an ancient necropolis with over 120 burial sites and a steppe mosque where visitors can experience a sense of historical and spiritual calm. In Kapam Sai, hike through a chalk canyon with a green oasis amid the rocks, giant boulders, and breathtaking panoramic views.

Discover the mysterious Valley of Round Stones, a surreal landscape with formations resembling spheres, nesting dolls, and UFOs — a photographer’s dream. Climb Kokkoly, the “Green City,” with its colorful hills and traces of Jurassic-era vegetation. Visit Sherkala, a uniquely shaped mountain, and explore the Ayakty Valley of Castles with 18th-century petroglyphs preserved in the rocks.

Midway through the tour, venture into Bozzhira and Kyzyl Kup, where chalk plateaus create dramatic, alien landscapes perfect for photo stops. Experience Bokty Mountain with its multicolored rock layers and Seneka Sands, reminiscent of the Sahara, where you can walk among endless golden dunes.

The tour concludes at Karagiye Depression, one of the deepest depressions in the world, surrounded by cliffs and salt flats, leaving you with unforgettable memories and a small keepsake from your guide.

Throughout the tour, enjoy jeep drives, guided hikes, photography sessions, cultural and historical storytelling, and hands-on experiences with camp cooking. Spend nights in tents and yurts under the open sky, allowing full immersion in the desert environment, watching sunsets and enjoying the silence.
