Sunny Land of Mangystau Tour

Bosjira Tract (also spelled as Boszhira) is a part of the Ustyurt Plateau where nature has unleashed its creativity, sculpting an otherworldly landscape. The current appearance of the tract is a result of natural phenomena, as it was once submerged in the sea and is now composed of limestone. Every element, from canyons to buttes and salt pans, wears a white hue. While marveling at the surreal landscapes of the tract, take a moment to inspect the ground beneath your feet – you may discover fossilized algae, shells, or the teeth of ancient sharks. A notable feature of the tract is the presence of buttes resembling fangs, standing at an impressive height of 200 meters (656 ft).

Extending over a distance of 30 km (19 mi), the Tuyesu Dunes are in constant motion, posing a potential threat to settlements, roads, and historical sites. The village of Senek, situated nearby, is particularly at risk. To mitigate this risk, the government is undertaking measures such as planting vegetation and erecting fences along the perimeter to stabilize the dunes. Despite the potential challenges these sands pose to the community's well-being, they continue to allure travelers with their exotic beauty.

Cape Tokmak remains a relatively unexplored area with limited available information, yet the existing findings are truly remarkable. Each archaeological expedition uncovers new and unique discoveries, presenting an increasing puzzle for the scientific community. Recently, a burial site from the Eneolithic era was unearthed, revealing a tomb that dates back 6,000 years. The discovered burial ground remained unlooted. This intact state has provided scientists with valuable insights into the funeral customs of those ancient times.

The Karagiye Trench is the deepest depression in Kazakhstan, plunging to a depth of 132 meters (433 ft). Nestled at its base is a relict lake bearing the same name. Regrettably, the lake has nearly dried up, making it inaccessible to approach.
