Altyn-Emel was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in the nomination "Cold Winter Deserts of Turan".
The main attractions of the Altyn-Emel National Park, the Singing Dune and the Aktau mountains, can be visited in winter, in clear weather with little snow. This option is especially suitable for those who cannot tolerate hot climates.
In winter in Altyn-Emel you don’t have to worry about overheating or sunstroke when climbing the Singing Dune or taking a long walk in the Aktau mountains. In winter, the Singing Dune often takes on its original form (without traces of tourists), and the Aktau mountains are almost never covered with snow - the multi-colored canyons are beautiful at any time of year.
A small amount of precipitation in the Altyn-Emel Park creates favorable conditions for the wintering of wild animals, such as argali and goitered gazelles, which descend into the valley in winter. This is the time of year when they can be seen most often. The lack of lush greenery in winter allows you to take unique photos of wildlife.
The road to the park through sleeping winter valleys and the Altyn-Emel mountain pass can be very picturesque against the backdrop of the sparkling snows of Dzhungarian Alatau.
There may be ice on the roads inside the park in winter; please look up the weather on the Internet (check the Basshi village).
