Hi all:

Will be in UZ this September (planning ahead) and been wanting to do the Aral Sea. I got a 2 days 1 night travel itinerary. Am looking for people to join me so we could split the cost of the trip.

If anyone is keen please drop me a private message to discuss.

Tentative dates are 24-25 Sep.

Thanks!

Monyaq or the actual seashore ?
There is a real difference...
Starting from Nukus is more realistic.

Hi:

Am not sure but most tours bring you to Monyaq? Can we see the seashore near there?

It's impossible to see the actual seashore from Monyaq.
It should be something that 100 kilometers far away.
You can reach Monyaq by yourself, it's easy.

I don't see any reason why do you need to use a tour to go to Monyaq.
No reason at all.

Hi,

Also planning to visit Aral for a long time (living in Uzbekistan). But can say exactly closer to summer.
It's better to take a car (shared) and guide and drive stright to the seashore. There is no sea in Muynaq (but can see ships cemetery).

Hi All,

We are also planning to do a trip to the Aral Sea, will have 10 days in UZ, so would have 2 days for the trip. Any tips as to where to go? I understand from the above, we just take a shared taxi to Muynaq on our own, and then look for a tour to the shore? How to reach the ship cemetery in Muynaq?

Any help is much appreciated!
