Ayaz Kala

This fortress is very close to the main one, deserves a visit. Please consider not to enter if you wear sandals or flat shoes (like flat sneakers): to reach the entrance from the park you have to turn around the building. If you turn left you will find a small entrance and you have to climb a 2 mt wall, if you turn right around, the path is easier and the entrance bigger with steps, but the ground is friable and if you are scared of heights, please resign. The fortress have a external walk around but the southern path needs good shoes.

Must see place in Khiva! Historical castle yurt camps nearby makes this place more interesting

You need to rent a car with a driver (which is very affordable in Uzb). Certainly one of the best historical places you can reach.

Ayazkala located quite far from Kyzylkala and Topirakkala, it took about 3 hours from Nukus. The Ayazkala was the most difficult one to go up among other kalas(Kizil kala and Toprak kala) since we had to go up on the sand and rocks. Nevertheless all that hard work was worth it, as the view on the top of the Ayazkala was exceptionally perfect, especially since we went there in the sunset. As Topirakkala, it is also costs money in Ayazkala( the same with Topirakkala, 10 000 sum (10$ per person). Moreover, there are all the facilities near the Ayazkala and you can enjoy playing on the swing in marvelous scenery.

It's very close to the main road, nice view

I have been there in March 17. The fortress consists actually of 3 independent fortresses. Ayaz Kala 2 ist the middle one. You can walk up to it. From there you have a wonderful view over the area and especially on the bigger brother Ayaz Kala 1. I actually liked both of them, but the view from fortress 1 is of course much better. From fortress 3 are just the foundations left and not so much to see there. If you have the chance, stay there for couple of hours an enjoy the view from both fortresses. One of the best historical places I have been in Uzbekistan.

There used to be 3 fortresses here. The first one is inexistent due to the status in which remains, the second one and third one are impressive. Nice view of all the territory from there

Good place to visit it is near Khiva or Xiva you can stay here in camp if sky is clear then amazing view os starts

This fortress is in the Kyzylkum desert in the middle of nowhere. My guide drove me here and it was a wonderful experience. There was no crowd at all when I visited.

The main reason why i visited Karakalpakstan

After visiting Toprak kala we continued our trip to Ayaz kala. We paid 10,000 soums for entering the kala. Because we had little time we could see only one part of the Ayaz kala, and it was said to be one of three hills. It was difficult to reach the top of the Ayaz kala because there were no stairs as the previous ones and we had already been tired from walking. There were a lot of stones and sand that made our walk much more tiring. However, we got to the top of the kala and had the chance to view the sunset. It was the most beautiful scene I have ever seen.

Fantastic place to take couple of pictures or just walk around.

Very windy, need a bit hiking

Very nice place and easy to access to via tours organised in khiva. Amazing walks around the camp, but STAY AWAY FROM THE FOOD. Food poisoning guaranteed

Ayaz Kala is a windswept and eroded fortress in the region of Karakalpakstan. Now it presides over empty desert in a region not many are fortunate to visit. It's starkly beautiful however, and worth visiting (along with other ruins), on a day trip from Khiva, or to stay overnight in the nearby yurt camp.

This palace is very wonderful and I was book the car from golden ring travel agency this agency is very helpful and friendly price also good then another travel agency

Wonderful place. We loved sleeping in a yurt under the stars

Amazing historical place

good!

凄凉的遗址和壮丽的风光。但保护太差了！不应该允许随意攀登，这种土城遗址经不住大量游客的踩踏。呼吁有人能承担保护的职责。

山顶上的城堡建于公元前4-3世纪，从波斯独立后的花剌子模营造，有45座瞭望塔，能看到广阔的原野。有两道外墙，两墙之间是一个拱形门廊，门廊顶上是军卫行走的步道。

西南山顶的小城堡建于4-8世纪，西南方向为他的大门，门外俯视可见一个城市建筑群。主建筑是一个宫殿，以前有一个琐罗亚斯德神庙、一个多柱支撑的大礼堂、还有住宅区，布满壁画。两次毁于火灾。
