2-Day Small Group Jeep Adventure Tour to Aral Sea in Nukus
Things to know
About the Activity
If you’re drawn to remote and quiet places, the Republic of Karakalpakstan might fascinate you. The Karakalpaks were once nomadic and relied on fishing for their livelihood. However, the drying up of the Aral Sea has turned Karakalpakstan into one of Uzbekistan’s poorest regions. The capital, Nukus, feels almost empty, and traveling to the surrounding areas reveals struggling towns and barren landscapes. On this tour, you’ll visit the main attractions outside Nukus, including the Aral Sea shore, the Usturt Plateau, the Muynak Ship Graveyard, the Sudochye Lake Natural Reserve, and the Mizdakhan Necropolis. This tour also supports the local community, as we work exclusively with local staff, including guides, drivers, and cooks.2 days

Muynak
Muynak, UzbekistanAfter breakfast, you will start your journey to the actual shoreline of the drying Aral Sea.
The first stop at your jeep journey will be the infamous ship graveyard of Moynak (Muynaq) city.
Once Aral Sea shores were close to the city and it was famous for its fisherman and canned fish products. Later, water was gone and left all ships on its sea bottom. Lying on salty sand ships became a rusting attraction that reminds ones who visit it about the huge tragedy of the disappeared sea. Here you will visit the local museum of city history and ship graveyard itself.
Later, you will continue to drive to the Aral Seashore. Upon arrival check-in to the yurt camp and rest.
Here, far away from the civilization and big cities light pollution you could freely observe the dark sky with myriads of stars, end even Milky Way could be visible sometimes. The wind and sea waves will sing for you all night and you will discover what it's like to be a nomad at the edge of the world.
