Private day trip to ancient fortresses: Ayaz-Kala, Tuprok-kala, Kizil-kala.
Toprak Qala ("Sand" in Uzbek) and "must see" fortress in the desert Ayaz Qala. After breakfast transfer to the Qala trip ("Fortress" in Uzbek) total drive 210 km. The ruins of over a dozen walled towns, palaces and forts, some well over 2000 years old, stand half-forgotten in the semi-desert east and north of Urgench in southern Karakalpakstan. The area’s traditional name, Ellik Qala (the 50 fortresses), provides a stark indication of what lies beneath the desert sands. There are about 20 forts and you will visit three of the most impressive forts: Toprak Qala and Ayaz Qala.
