The Mangystau Grand Tour

Golden Horizons

January to December

CPP: $500

5 Days

Embark on a five-day luxury adventure through Mangystau’s otherworldly deserts and the Caspian coast. Based in a premier beachfront hotel in Aktau, you’ll venture daily by private 4x4 into Kazakhstan’s most surreal landscapes—Boszhira’s gleaming white cliffs, the storied Sherkala “Lion” Mountain, the castle-like ridges of Airakty, and the mysterious spherical boulders of Torysh. Each day blends soft-adventure hikes and photo-worthy viewpoints with elevated comforts: gourmet field picnics laid with linen, golden-hour sundowners, and a curated spa experience back at your hotel. Your expert expedition leader and specialist local guides reveal Mangystau’s geology, legends, and Silk Road heritage, while our concierge team ensures every detail—halal-friendly dining, seamless transfers, and personalized pacing—is flawlessly handled. Optional upgrades include a night of luxury desert glamping under a million stars, e-MTB ridge rides, or a scenic helicopter flight over the Ustyurt Plateau.
