Tour from China to Singing Dunes, Altyn Emel national park, Almaty region


Journey to the Singing Dune in the Altyn-Emel reserve. We invite you on a tour from China to Kazakhstan for travelers from China (citizens of China) and travelers who travel from China to Kazakhstan in transit. The singing dune or Akkum Kalkan is a mountain of sand 160 meters high and 3 kilometers long, the singing dune is located in the Altyn-Emel park, 183 kilometers from the city of Almaty in the Almaty region. The place is very popular, the sand dune is famous for the fact that when a strong wind blows here, the dune makes a sound from the sand rubbing against each other. Sand appears here and is blown by the wind from the Ili River, which is located nearby. The place is magical and unusual, there are many versions and legends why the sound appears from the most fantastic versions to the official ones. The sound is very weak and reaches a very loud sound similar to an organ. We invite you to listen to this sound yourself and visit this place and at the same time see the Altyn-Emel nature reserve, also along the way we will see the sights of the Almaty region and travel here.
