Overview

  • Join us on the incredible journey to the disappearing Aral sea. You will travel through the rocky desert, walk over the bottom of the dried sea, visit mysterious medieval towns and ascend the magnificent Ustyurt Plateau. You will spend the night in Karakalpak yurts falling asleep to the songs of the desert wind, and watch the sun rising over the Aral Sea. This is a journey to the parallel world that you never knew existed.

    The sites you are going to visit have been inaccessible to public for a long time. That is why the areas surrounding the Ustyurt Plateau have always been shrouded in myth and mystery. Now you have a real chance to see these amazing sites with your own eyes.
    So book your Aral Sea tour today and gain an unforgettable experience!

Ustyurt Platosi

You will ascend the Ustyurt Plateau. Leaving behind the modern roads of Muinak, you will journey to the Ustyurt Plateau through the desert that used to be the bottom of the Aral Sea. The table-like plateau with carved walls can be seen from afar. You will ascend the Ustyurt in the off-road vehicles, and your unbelievable journey will begin.

Aral Sea (Pass by)

Arrive at the Aral Sea yurt camp. You can relax in a cosy yurt camp on the Aral Sea Shore. The camp is located on a platform between the Ustyurt and the Aral Sea. You will take a walk to the sea, have an outdoor dinner enjoying the view of the sea, and spend the night in comfortable Karakalpak yurts.

Aral Sea

  • 2h
After breakfast, our tour will also take you to the ancient Kurgancha-Kala site (Davletgirey). You will hike to the ruins of the huge market that was built in this deserted area to facilitate the trade between the population of the Khorezm Kingdom and nomads. Kubla-Ustyurt is a remote settlement with an airstrip. You will find out why people still live here in the middle of the desert where the nearest settlement is a hundred miles away. You will have a chance to visit the house of the camel herder and try camel milk

Ustyurt Platosi

  • 2h
Urga, an abandoned fishing village, looks like a scene from a post-apocalyptic film. You will see the ruins of the Russian city once inhabited by the exiled Cossacks and their descendants, visit a Russian Orthodox cemetery on a hill, decrepit factory, salt-covered lakeshore, wooden fishing boats and vast areas overgrown with bulrush. We will make a quick stop at the fishing outpost. Sudochie Lake with its bulrush-covered islets is home to a variety of birds, so it is often visited by ornithologists and photographers from all over the world.

Nukus
