Mangystau Highlights

Mangystau's landscape is defined by the Ustyurt Plateau's white chalk cliffs, salt flats, and ancient geological formations. This selection covers the region's diverse topography, including the yurt-shaped Sherkala mountain and the thousands of spherical concretions in the Valley of Balls. The list features the honeycomb-like walls of Ybykty Say Canyon, the freshwater oasis of Saura Canyon, and the vast salt pans of Tuzbair. It also includes the Rock Trail in Aktau for accessible views of the Caspian Sea coastline.
