Description
Explore Altyn-Emel National Park on a 2-day private tour from Almaty and discover some of the most interesting natural and cultural sights of southeastern Kazakhstan.
During the trip, visit the famous Singing Dunes, a large area of sand dunes known for the unusual sound that can sometimes be produced when the sand moves. Walk around, enjoy the views of the surrounding Ili River valley, and take photos of the landscape.
The tour also includes a visit to the Aktau Mountains, known for their colorful layers of white, red, yellow, and orange rock. These formations were shaped over millions of years and create a unique landscape within the national park. Explore the area and enjoy the views from different points.
Another highlight of the tour is the Katutau Mountains. Their dark volcanic rocks and unusual formations are very different from the lighter colors of Aktau. Together, Aktau and Katutau show the geological diversity of Altyn-Emel National Park.
