Altyn-Emel National Park

What travelers say:

Located about 250 kilometers northeast of Almaty, between the south slope of the Junggar Arata Mountains on the right bank of the Ili River, there is Kazakhstan's largest national park, Altyn-Emel National Natural Park (Arjin-Emer National Park), covering an area of 4,600 square kilometers. The park is dominated by natural landscapes: singing crescent dunes, valley forests, such as Aktau Mountain, the "Moon Landform", the archaeological site of Besshatyr, the Taigak Canyon rock murals and the graveyard of the great Saxon kings; In addition, there are wildlife included in the Kazakhstan Red Book: goose-throated lizards, wild donkeys, black lizards, lizards, snake carvings, stubbles, etc. Such a vast park, a day or two must not be played, so we went to the most classic singing dunes Singing Sand Dunes and Aktao Mountain Aktau Mountains (White Mountains) .
