The Mynbulak oasis is located north of the Kishi (Small) Kalkan mountains, 10.5 km from the Singing Dune. It is a cluster of small oases, each of them feeding by a spring that gushes out of the ground (myn means "thousand" and bulak means "spring" in Kazakh). Turanga, saxaul, reed, willow, oleaster, salt tree, tamarisk, wild rose, barberry grow here.
Through the Mynbulak oasis, along the foothills of the Small Kalkan mountains, there are migration routes of animals towards the Kapchagai reservoir, like argali, gazelles coming here for wintering; kulans also often migrate here from the protected area of the national park due to increased drought and reduction of the area of pastures and the number of watering places.
The campsite at the Mynbulak ranger's post in the Altyn-Emel park is a place for rest and camping when visiting the Singing Dune (overnight stays are prohibited near the dune itself).
