What you can expect

Immerse yourself in an unforgettable journey through one of Kazakhstan’s most magical places — Altyn-Emel National Park.

Begin your adventure in the cosy village of Basshi, from where you’ll set off to explore the natural treasures of this unique land.

Make your first stop at the 700-year-old willow tree, a living monument that has witnessed centuries pass and holds the spirit of the steppe.

Next, head to the heart of the Ak-Tau mountains, where the dazzling white slopes and surreal shapes create the feeling of walking on another planet. Here, a trekking route through fantastic landscapes awaits you.

Continue to the Katutau mountains, shaped by ancient volcanic activity into extraordinary stone sculptures, a powerful reminder of nature’s forces.

The highlight of the tour is the Singing Dune, a natural wonder where the wind creates a mysterious melody across the sands. Climb to the top to admire breathtaking views and feel the true spirit of Kazakhstan’s desert.

In the evening, after a hearty dinner in the village, return to Almaty, carrying home unforgettable memories, emotions, and a longing to return.
