This tour is tailor-made for those with just one free day in Aktau, or for those who prefer not to camp overnight but still wish to experience Mangystau's most spectacular sight. The Bozzhyra tract, with its otherworldly landscapes, towering cliffs, and stunning viewing platforms, is a highlight of the region. In addition, you'll get to explore the nearby Kyzylkup tract.
The only drawback of this tour is the lengthy travel required from Aktau to Bozzhyra and back. The journey spans 600 km and takes approximately 9-10 hours. While the majority of the route features high-quality asphalt roads, about 100 km will be on an average dirt road. However, the minor inconveniences are more than compensated for by the remarkable views from three observation platforms: "Martian Panorama," "Dragon's Crest," and "Fangs."
