Overview

If you’re attracted to desolation, you’ll love the Republic of Karakalpakstan. The Karakalpaks, are formerly nomadic and fishing people. The destruction of the Aral Sea has rendered Karakalpakstan one of Uzbekistan’s most depressed regions. The capital, Nukus, feels half deserted, and a drive into outlying areas reveals a region of dying towns and blighted landscapes. During this tour, you will see all main attractions outside of the Nukus, Aral Sea shore, Usturt plateau, Muynak Ship Graveyard, Natural Reserve around Sudochye Lake, and Mizdakhan Necropolis.
