Kazakhstan’s Mangystau region feels like another planet – a remote world of deserts, salt flats, striped mountains and surreal formations shaped over millions of years.

In this video, we begin an 8-day expedition across one of Central Asia’s most untouched landscapes. From camping beneath the stars to navigating endless desert tracks, we explore iconic locations like Mount Bokty, vast salt flats more than 70 metres below sea level, and the surreal ‘Tiramisu Hills.’

If you love raw adventure, wild camping and unbelievable landscapes, Mangystau will blow your mind.

This is Kazakhstan like you’ve never seen it.
