Travel and transport agencies Aralsk

This association helps fishermen who are gradually returning to work on the Aral Sea. It also has a network of young English-speaking people who act as guides in the region in summer. The organization is efficient, even at a moment's notice, and offers 4x4 vehicles with drivers for venturing into the territory of the former Aral Sea, right up to the most remote corners, and even as far as the Zhamanshin crater. The drivers are reliable, but a quick inspection of the vehicle won't go amiss.

Located close to the city center, the railway station offers trains to Kyzyl-Orda (then Turkestan and Almaty, with a change at Kyzyl-Orda) to the east, and to towns on the Caspian Sea and in the north-west of the country. To save time, you can also fly to Kyzyl-Orda before taking an overnight train. It's best to buy your tickets in advance.

The bus station is just opposite the railway station. Regular buses to Turkestan (15h drive).
