Altyn-Emel National Park is located in Zhetysu, in the Ili River valley, and covers a vast area with diverse landscapes. The park features Scythian burial mounds, rare species of plants and animals, as well as natural phenomena such as the ancient chalk Aktau Mountains, over 50 million years old, and the unique Singing Dunes, which produce a melodic sound when the wind blows.
A trip to Altyn-Emel is a journey into untouched nature. You will explore places where nomadic history meets stunning mountain scenery, admire the colorful slopes of Aktau, and experience the mysterious “desert music” of the Singing Dunes. Walks, photo opportunities, and light trekking will make this adventure truly memorable.
