Our journey began between 1998 and 2004, when we volunteered with the NGO “Aral Tenizi” during a remarkable period in the history of the Aral region. At that time, the town of Aralsk welcomed numerous international guests—from researchers and journalists to environmentalists and filmmakers—each drawn by the dramatic story of the Aral Sea.
It was a time when the world turned its eyes toward this small but legendary place. Those years were the Aral’s golden era of global attention, and we were there—meeting people, sharing stories, and showing them the resilience, warmth, and hospitality of the local communities.
That experience inspired us. We realized that the Aral region had so much more to offer than just its history of ecological tragedy. It is a place of living culture, breathtaking landscapes, and strong, kind people. Slowly but surely, the idea of creating meaningful travel experiences was born.
Today, we proudly offer tours that connect travelers to the soul of the Aral: its stories, traditions, and natural beauty. What started as a volunteer experience has become a lifelong mission—to preserve and share the spirit of the Aral through responsible tourism.
Our mission is to share the spirit of the Aral region through meaningful and respectful travel. We believe that tourism can be more than sightseeing — it can be a bridge between cultures, a source of support for local communities, and a tool to preserve history and nature.
Every journey we offer is designed to connect travelers with the land, its people, and their stories. From walking the ancient shores of the Aral Sea to listening to traditional music under the stars, we strive to create moments that leave a lasting impression.
We work closely with local guides, musicians, and families to ensure that our tours support the community and reflect its true identity. We aim to empower locals, create sustainable opportunities, and inspire guests to see the world with open eyes and open hearts.
Our mission is not only to show you the Aral — but to help you feel its soul.
