Altyn Emel National Park In Almaty Kazakhstan

During the tour we will visit an amazing place - one of the largest national natural parks in Kazakhstan - "Altyn Emel".

On the first day we will overcome the Altyn Emel gorge, shimmering in the golden rays of the sun. The gorge according to legend, was named by the “conqueror of the world” Genghis Khan.

Then we will visit the Kokbastau jaeger cordon, where we`ll see a specially protected natural monument - a 700 year old willow. Then we will continue our way to the volcanic mountains of Katutau. After volcanic eruptions, the lava solidified and formed many dark-red figures, rocks and caves, fantastic in their appearance.

Our next stop is the chalk mountains of Aktau, the bottom of a prehistoric sea: multi-colored hills formed from bluish-gray sandstone and red clay, interspersed with yellow and pink carnelian, jasper and white quartz, resemble a layer cake. There we will make a short trekking and see the Aktau mountains in all their glory - during the sunset.

The choice of a place for spending the night is provided to the tourist: a hotel (guest house), or tent camping.

On the second day we will see the pearl of the reserve, a natural phenomenon - the famous "Singing dune", the sands of which in dry weather emit a sound similar to the melody of an organ.
