Mars on Earth: Conquering Mangystau’s Alien Landscapes in a GX550

Mangystau doesn’t look real—and that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable. Behind the wheel of the new Lexus GX550, we tore through surreal terrain that felt like another planet. From the mysterious round boulders of Torysh Valley to the jaw-dropping natural fortress of Airakty Castle, every stop left us speechless. The GX handled it all—steep climbs, rocky trails, endless desert—with power and style. This wasn’t just a drive, it was a full-blown expedition into the raw, untouched heart of Kazakhstan. Mangystau doesn’t need filters. It just needs an open road, a beast of a ride, and a thirst for the unknown.
