Tour to Karinjarik magic area, Mangistau region
Karynzharyk is a sandy depression between the Mangistau peninsula and Ustyurt, located in the Karakiya district of the Mangistau region. The place is very popular with local tourists and visitors from abroad. We recommend traveling around the region in the summer, in the first half while it is not so hot here, also in the spring the region is filled with colors, so in spring it is also very interesting to travel here.
The length of the Karynzharyk depression from north to southwest is 130-160 km, width is 24-40 km. The height of the sandy hills formed by the erosion of the main rocks sometimes reaches 5-15 m. the climate is continental, the average temperature in January is -5 - 6C, in July - 27C.
