Tour itinerary:
Atyrau City – Dossor Village – Sagiz Village – Bekbeke Village – Kulsary – Kamyskol Lake (247 km).
Our road from Atyrau will head northeast, toward a town called Kulsary. By the time we reach the town, we'll be four kilometers from the lake.
The Uil River, whose source is in the Mugodzhar Mountains, then flows into the Zhem River, which, in turn, feeds Lake Kamyskol itself through the Kursay and Bakhashi Canals.
Upon reaching the lake, we'll swim in it and relax on the sandy beach. If you'd like to stay longer and relax by the lake, you can stay at a hotel in the nearby town of Kulsary. After relaxing on the beach and enjoying some water activities, we'll have lunch, and in the late afternoon, we'll head back to Atyrau.
