I'm now in Kazakhstan! On the very edge. Western Kazakhstan. On the Caspian Sea. In Aktau. In wonderful Mangistau.
Kazakhstan is a shock! I don't know where I am, but it's cool here! #Kazakhstan #Aktau
I drove for myself, didn’t bother anyone. My path seemed to lie in a completely different place, but I got lost. And I came to another wonderful place! And I didn’t regret it at all! The Valley of Castles, also known as the Airakty tract, also known as the Zhairakty tract, is also Mount Kairaktau.
Airakty is a system of remnant mountains in the Mangystau region. Among the local population, the name Airakty-Shomanay is common, but in the world the mountains are better known under the name “Valley of Castles Airakty”.
Not far from Sherkala (Shirkaly) there is a mountain valley - the Valley of Zhairakty Castles, which received its name from the light hand of Taras Shevchenko, who participated in the Karatauk expedition in 1851. The route of this expedition passed through these places. In the valley, between the Northern Aktau and Western Karatau ridges, near Mount Zhairakty or as it is also called Kairaktau (translated into Russian as Forked), the expedition stopped for a rest, Taras Shevchenko made a series of drawings here under the poetic name “Valley of Castles”. Once upon a time, the Tethys Ocean splashed here, but about 25 million years ago, as a result of a powerful earthquake, a huge layer of older rocks several kilometers thick rose from the ocean floor on the site of the modern Mangyshlak Peninsula. The layer lifted part of the marine sediments and cut them with numerous cracks. 8 million years ago, the Turanian plate began to slowly rise with a slope to the west. The retreating ocean, in giant waves, eroded soft rocks along the cracks, creating chalk cuestas, canyons, and bizarre mountain outcrops. Wind and rain streams completed the majestic creation of Nature. The Valley of Castles is located on the Mangyshlak peninsula, not far from the A-33 highway. You can get to Airakta from the highway along an asphalt road (there are several dirt roads in the valley itself).
Coordinates of the valley of Airakty castles: 44.2598; 52.0831
Usually the object is visited together with other natural attractions of the peninsula: fallen earth - Zhygylgan, Ustyurt Plateau, Sherkala Mountain.
The Zhayrakty tract and the Ktayairakty tract are also part of the Akmysh (Akmyshtau) tract; all tracts are located approximately in the same area. All tracts are separated by short distances from 2 to 5 kilometers, our tour will cover all these tracts, and we will visit each of them, stop and take photographs. There is also another Kurturmas tract nearby. The entire area is a hilly plain with rare hills and low mountains; the Akmyshtau massif is composed of such rocks as clay, sandstone, marl, and limestone.

As a child, I really liked to sleep in the car rather than in the house. Now it turns out it was car camping! Such a vanlife! I live in my car quite professionally. In Western countries, a special term was coined during the night in the car and in Vanlife - boondocking. It means a VanLife night in a car in a random place not intended for overnight stays in a car with a completely absent VanLife infrastructure in this place. For some reason, in our country another definition of vanlife is more common - carcamping, that is, a narrower phenomenon. People on the way somewhere spend the night in a car somewhere in the middle of the forest.
