8 DAYS
Do you want to see and ride on a motorbike through the Martian landscape on the Earth? Then welcome to the Mysterious Ustyurt enduro motorcycle tour!
About 20 million years ago, here was an ocean. Now this mysterious desert which many years ago has become a haven for ancient Sufi ascetics. It is a completely new place on the map of unusual and mysterious places on the Earth.
Therefore, we proudly present to you absolutely new exclusive route in the global menu of motorcycle tours in the world. What you will see in this tour?
You will ride on motorbikes in Karagiye Depression at the bottom of a dried-up ocean (-132 meters below sea level) where maybe you find the remains of ancient sea creatures (shells, bones and teeth of sharks). We will spend the night canyon Bozzhirau surrounded by fantastic cliffs up to 200 meters. We will visit the Valley of Balls where stone balls scattered like peas. Nobody know where did they come from. We will visit the old underground Sufi mosques Shopan-Ata and Shakpak-Ata. We will visit the holy Sharkala mountain which seemed enormous UFO sticking out of a smooth landscape of the steppe. We will visit the Zhygylgan collapse and Blue Bay on the beautiful Caspian Sea. And, of course we will spend some nights in tent sitting by the fire under the bright stars!
P.S. We do not describe some places and roads on our website because it is exclusive part of our itinerary and commercial secret.
