• Singing Barkhan - Begin the day with a pickup from your hotel in a comfortable 4WD vehicle, heading towards one of Kazakhstan’s most extraordinary sites — Altyn-Emel National Park. The journey spans 250 kilometers (approximately 4.5 hours) through the diverse landscapes of southeastern Kazakhstan, showcasing rural life, expansive steppe plains, and mountain vistas along the route.

The first destination is the renowned Singing Dune. This enormous sand formation stands 150 meters tall — equivalent to a 50-story building. In dry conditions, the dune “sings,” emitting a deep, resonant sound akin to the hum of an organ or a jet engine. This rare natural occurrence was once examined by Soviet scientists and continues to captivate visitors today.

• Aktau Mountains - Following this, the tour proceeds to the Aktau Mountains (around 2.5 hours away). These remarkable, multi-colored formations are remnants of an ancient ocean floor, where fossils of prehistoric creatures can still be discovered.

A lunch break in a nearby village offers a chance to relax before resuming the tour.

Feel free to request your guide to take photos — they will gladly assist in capturing the highlights of your adventure.

• Katutau Mountain - Visitors will explore the surreal Katutau Mountains — one of the most distinctive landscapes in Altyn-Emel National Park. Shaped by ancient volcanic activity, these rugged mountains boast dramatic rock formations, deep canyons, and vibrant layers sculpted by wind and erosion over millions of years.

Guests will wander through secluded valleys, uncover unique geological formations, take panoramic photos, and immerse themselves in the wild desert scenery of southeastern Kazakhstan. This area is ideal for nature enthusiasts, photographers, and travelers seeking unique landscapes away from tourist crowds.
