Welcome to Karakalpakstan

Karakalpakstan is a land of ancient culture. The Karakalpak, Uzbek, Kazakh and Turkmen nations that inhabit the Southern Aral Sea region have a rich cultural heritage, including archaeological and architectural monuments, traditional crafts, rich folklore, vibrant folk festivals, and rituals and traditions. Along with the number of ancient and medieval monuments, there are also unique natural sites.
Environmental disaster in the Aral Sea region that began in the 1960s has significantly worsened the situation of people living in the region. Ironically, consequences of the environmental disaster have increased the interest of eco-tourists in the region.
Due to the ethnographic features, Karakalpakstan also has great potential for the development of ethno-tourism.
The heritage of Karakalpakstan is a unique and distinctive feature of the world culture and has become increasingly popular among researchers and tourists.
