Overview

Early in the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable jeep or SUV and head to Altyn-Emel National Park. The distance is 250 km (about 4.5 hours). Along the way, you’ll see rural villages, open степpe landscapes, and mountain views.

Our first stop is the Singing Dune, which rises 150 metres high (about the height of a 50-story building). In dry weather, the dune produces a deep vibrating sound, similar to the hum of an organ or a jet engine. This rare natural phenomenon was studied by Soviet scientists.

Next, we drive to the Aktau Mountains (about 2.5 hours). These mountains are the former bed of an ancient ocean, where you can still see fossils of prehistoric animals.

We will stop for lunch in a nearby village.
Your guide will be happy to take photos of you during the tour.

Activity itinerary

Singing Barkhan

2h

Early in the morning, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle and head to one of Kazakhstan’s most remarkable destinations — Altyn-Emel National Park. The journey covers 250 kilometres (about 4.5 hours) through the ever-changing landscapes of southeastern Kazakhstan, where rural life, vast степpe plains, and mountain views unfold along the way. Our first stop is the legendary Singing Dune. This massive sand formation rises 150 metres high — about the height of a 50-story building. In dry weather, the dune “sings,” producing a deep, resonating sound similar to the hum of an organ or a jet engine. This rare natural phenomenon was once studied by Soviet scientists and continues to fascinate visitors today.

Aktau Mountains

2h

Next, we drive to the Aktau Mountains (approximately 2.5 hours). These striking, multi-colored formations are the remnants of an ancient ocean floor, where fossils of prehistoric animals can still be found. We’ll stop for lunch in a nearby village so you can rest before continuing the tour. And of course, feel free to ask your guide to take photos — we’ll be happy to help you capture the best moments of your journey.
