2 Days in Altyn-Emel: an unforgettable journey to a place where the sand sings and the mountains hold silent secrets of millions of years. The tour begins in Almaty. In comfortable SUV vehicles, you'll head to Altyn-Emel National Park — one of Kazakhstan’s most unique natural wonders. First stop — the legendary 700-year-old Willow, a living relic wrapped in ancient legends. Next, a scenic trek through the Martian-like Aktau Mountains. These chalky ridges, as if made for cinema, offer surreal landscapes and unforgettable impressions. Then on to the volcanic Katutau Mountains, where stone has frozen in waves and curves like sculptures. In the evening — warmth and coziness in the village of Basshi: a homemade dinner, campfire games, and a sky full of stars. On the second day — the Singing Dune. A towering sand dune that truly “sings” as you walk on it. Here, you'll hear what the silence of the desert sounds like. After the walk — return to Basshi, lunch, and the journey back to Almaty.

Aktau Mountains
Guests will take part in a guided 7 km trek through the chalk formations of the Aktau Mountains — one of Altyn-Emel’s most iconic landscapes. The route passes through vibrant, layered hills formed millions of years ago. Along the way, you’ll have time to take photographs, observe unique geological patterns, and enjoy the silence and scale of this surreal, desert-like terrain. Comfortable footwear and sun protection are recommended.
Katutau Mountain
At the Katutau Mountains, we’ll take a short break to explore this fascinating area shaped by ancient volcanic activity. The unusual rock formations, carved by wind and time, offer striking photo opportunities and a glimpse into the region’s geological history. This brief stop allows guests to walk among the sculpted stones, stretch their legs, and take in the quiet, otherworldly scenery before continuing the journey.

The Singing Dune is one of Altyn-Emel’s most famous natural wonders. Rising up to 150 meters, this massive sand formation emits a low, vibrating hum when the wind moves across its surface or when you walk down its slope — a rare phenomenon found in only a few places on Earth. Guests will have the opportunity to climb the dune, listen to its “song,” and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding steppe and mountains. It’s a peaceful yet fascinating experience, offering both natural beauty and a touch of mystery.
