Hotels and guest houses in the Altyn-Emel National Park are located mainly in the village of Basshi, there are also hotels at the Shygan, Taigak, Zhantogai posts.
The village of Basshi where the central office of the park is located, is a quiet village with a charming oriental flavor. Here, cattle roam the streets peacefully, and you can hear purely village sounds: the lowing of cows, the roar of donkeys, the bleating of sheep, the neighing of horses, and in the morning you will certainly be awakened by the cheerful crowing of a rooster. The surroundings of the Basshi village are steppes surrounded by the Dzhungarian mountains.

Camping
Many tourists choose camping as an alternative to staying in hotels. This makes it possible to get as close as possible to wild nature: sit by the fire, admire the starry sky, hear real silence, meet the dawn of the sun.
The Altyn-Emel National Park is one of the rare places suitable for camping.
The most popular place for camping is at the foot of the Aktau mountains. Near the Singing Dune any camping is prohibited.
All the campers are equipped with soft beds, a kitchen, gas, water supply, electricity, heating and ventilation.

Aktau Mountains Campsite
Location: the Aktau mountains (72 km from the Basshi village).
Parking lot.
Places for tent camping, pavilions.
Beautiful mountains of Aktau are the most distant route from the village of Basshi. It is worth staying overnight here to have more time to walk along this multi-colored canyon and see the mountains at sunset and sunrise, arrange a photo tour and enjoy staying outdoors far from any civilization.
However, the complete absence of water sources makes it difficult to stay at the foot of the Aktau mountains, so take care of a sufficient supply of drinking water when arranging camping. We offer tours with a campervan which can carry a significant amount of water on board.
