Tour to the panoramas of Boszhira, magical Mangyshlak
Boszhira and its panoramas, the most beautiful places on the Mangyshlak peninsula. We invite you to visit this amazing peninsula on the shores of the Caspian Sea. The places here are very beautiful, it is best to travel here in late spring to catch the abundance of colors, in August the area becomes absolutely deserted and very white. Therefore, these places are also called the Cretaceous Mountains of Mangyshlak.
The landscapes of Boszhira's panoramas are similar to the photographs of the NASA space agency from the planet Mars, the terrain here is so fantastic and mystical that a person begins to feel as if he was on another planet. Sunrise and sunset will give you the most beautiful pictures of this phenomenon in your camera, and the nights here are so starry that it seems that the sky and the stars are about to touch the crown of your head.
There is no tourist infrastructure, so we travel here with our own portable base camp and all the necessary equipment.
