Had an absolutely amazing time visiting the Aral Sea. Though the cost may initially appear to be a bit high, you're paying for 4 people's salaries, a place at a yurt camp - where there's really no other facilities for hours, 2 rental cars, and food costs. The major business season is only for 1/2 the other, as the weather is quite intense in the winter+summer. In retrospect, the price point makes sense.
