After meeting your guide in the hotel lobby, you will set off on the most intense tour of the key landmarks of Western Kazakhstan.

The first part of the day will be devoted to exploring the Kyzylkup tract (Tiramisu Hills). Once upon a time, in this red and white corner of Mangystau, there was a lake called Kyzylkup, which means “a lot of red” in Kazakh, but it dried up and now these places resemble Martian landscapes. The Kyzylkup tract is smooth low hills made up of rocks of different colors that alternate with each other, creating a mesmerizing sight. The color of the layers is given by impurities of various minerals. The white layers consist of chalk, and the red ones contain iron. Because of its unusual layered structure, the tract is often called “Tiramisu” by the people. Like all the attractions on the route, the tract owes its origin to the ancient Tethys Ocean. As evidence of this, in the vicinity of the Kyzylkup tract, as in many other places in Mangystau, you can find fossilized teeth of ancient sharks, hipparions (ancient three-toed horses) and machairods (saber-toothed cats).

After lunch and a break, the second part of the day is devoted to exploring the panoramic points of the Bozjyra tract. The first panoramic point is located at an altitude of 270 meters above sea level, from which a panorama of the Ustyurt plateau and the Ortasha plateau opens up. From the first panoramic point, Mount Shoky-Tau is clearly visible, its height is 266 meters above sea level, and Mount Yurta is also visible from here. From the height, breathtaking views of the snow-white chalk cliffs, reminiscent of the teeth of a fantastic ridge, open up. Millions of years ago, the waves of the ancient Tethys Ocean splashed on the site of the current Bozjyra tract. Over time, the water receded, leaving behind chalk and limestone deposits, which today form the impressive canyons and cliffs of this place, two of which are called Fangs. Then you go down to the lower panorama. Here you can fully experience the scale of the natural amphitheater, surrounded by majestic cliffs. The last stop is the middle panorama of Bozjyra. From this point, a balanced view of the famous “fangs” opens up. In the evening, together with the guide, you return to your hotel in Aktau.
