ALTYN-EMEL EXPRESS
TOUR
-
If you want to enjoy the unique beauty of nature, plan a visit to Altyn-Emel National Park, known for its picturesque landscapes. Tourists from around the world come here to enjoy the magnificent views. The Chalk Mountains of Aktau and the rare natural attraction "Singing Dune" have become distinctive symbols of this place.
-
Another impressive attraction of Altyn-Emel Park is the unusual mountain formations. In the local language, the name of the attraction "Chalk Mountains" means mountain slopes of white color. They are a unique formation that emerged from the drying up of an ancient ocean. The natural monument got its name because of the unusual color of the rocks that make up the formation.
-
The formation of the Lava Mountains, which have become one of the famous natural monuments of Altyn-Emel National Park, occurred due to intense volcanic activity in the region. Nearby, you can see the Kosbastau oasis, known for its warm springs that sustain the life of ancient plants.
