Tuzbair, Ustyurt Plateau

4-Day Tour To Ustyurt

It is fair to call this area one of the best-protected nature reserves, since its topography and the absence of any infrastructure condemn visitors to travel hundreds of kilometres by jeep, fortunately, only very few visitors can endure. This place is Ustyurt plateau, 200,000 square kilometres (77,000 square miles) of clay and stony desert  located on the territories of Western Kazakhstan & Uzbekistan. Its one of the largest geomorphological elements of Earth’s surface, which is like the Great Barrier Reef is clearly visible from the space. 

Kaindy Lake

Dostar Trips is a travel agency from Almaty, Kazakhstan. We provide unforgettable travel adventures in a laid-back ambiance with friendly knowledgeable guides. 

We booked a 5 day tour with Gaukhar from Friendly Tours to visit many of the natural wonders around Almaty: Altyn Emel NP, Charyn Canyon, Kolsai lakes and Käindy lake. The tour turned out great! Gaukhar did a tremendous job going the extra mile to meet us a day earlier in Almaty and walk us around the (really nice) town and had everything arranged, from a 4WD van with driver to packed lunches and good accomodation. All in all we saw all we wanted to see and then some, and it was more like traveling with a bunch of friends than an organized tour. The nature and unique, peculiar sites of south east Kazakhstan were amazing. Highly recommended!
