This photo captures the Singing Dunes (“Aigaikum” in kazakh) of the Altyn-Emel National Park in winter. It is the perfect spot to admire the peaceful landscape all around.
Tourism in the Almaty Region is surging every year, threatening ecosystems in places like Kolsay Lakes and Charyn Canyon. Yet, Altyn-Emel National Park retains its serene charm, also thanks to its remote and difficult to reach location.
