Your unforgettable journey to Altyn-Emel National Park will begin when you meet your guide at 8:00 am at your hotel. You will then board a comfortable minivan to start your adventure. The journey will take approximately an hour, during which you will travel on a highway, passing by the Kapchagai Reservoir, the largest lake in the Almaty region. This reservoir is a popular destination for beachgoers and gamblers, as it is one of the two areas in Kazakhstan where casinos are permitted. Your first sightseeing destination will be Tamgaly Tas Petroglyph Site, located on the banks of the Ili River. Your guide will provide fascinating insights about this incredible place. You will then have the opportunity to walk around and enjoy the stunning views. On the opposite side of the river, you can observe the model of a medieval city, which was built for the filming of the movie «Nomad: The Warrior».

After hiking up to the top of the 150-meter dune, you will return to Basshi village for dinner and spend the night in one of the villagers' guest houses or a cozy local hotel.
Tamgaly Tas is a unique monument from the distant past that features images of Buddha and texts in various languages, including Tibetan and Kalmyk, carved onto old rocks. The carvings contain prayer-like meanings, and their origins remain a mystery that scientists have been trying to unravel for over 150 years.
The Singing Dune is a sandy hill reaching 150 meters (492 ft) in height and approximately 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) in length. Made up of very fine, pure sand, the Singing Dune emits a unique sound resembling that of organ music when the wind blows. Prior to a sandy storm, it sounds like a drum. From the top of the dune, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding area.
After enjoying breakfast at 08:00, you'll embark on a drive of over 80 km (50 mi) on unpaved roads to the Aktau Mountains. Once you arrive, you'll have ample time to explore and take in the beauty of the natural landscape. The geological formations, with their varied hues and textures, are awe-inspiring and make for a perfect backdrop for your sightseeing experience. Then, you'll head to Basshi village for a lunch. After lunch, you'll head to the town of Jarkent, located 97 km (60 mi) away. Here, you'll visit a stunning wooden mosque-pagoda that is a true marvel of architecture. Designed by the Chinese architect Hon Pike, the mosque boasts brightly patterned roofs and towers that are a feast for the eyes.

The Aktau Mountains, also known as the White Mountains, are a world-renowned paleontological field. The Paleogene lacustrine deposits in the mountains contain well-preserved remains of ancient animals that are estimated to be 25-30 million years old. These remains include giant rhinos, crocodiles, and turtles. The mountains themselves are visually stunning, with huge conical shapes reminiscent of the Egyptian pyramids and a magical array of colors and shapes.
