Overview

2 Days in Altyn-Emel: an unforgettable journey to a place where the sand sings and the mountains hold silent secrets of millions of years. The tour begins in Almaty. In comfortable SUV vehicles, you'll head to Altyn-Emel National Park — one of Kazakhstan’s most unique natural wonders. First stop — the legendary 700-year-old Willow, a living relic wrapped in ancient legends. Next, a scenic trek through the Martian-like Aktau Mountains. These chalky ridges, as if made for cinema, offer surreal landscapes and unforgettable impressions. Then on to the volcanic Katutau Mountains, where stone has frozen in waves and curves like sculptures. In the evening — warmth and cosiness in the village of Basshi: a homemade dinner, campfire games, and a sky full of stars. On the second day — the Singing Dune. A towering sand dune that truly “sings” as you walk on it. Here, you'll hear what the silence of the desert sounds like. After the walk — return to Basshi, lunch, and the journey back to Almaty.
