Everyone writes about the stunning views (it's true), about how you feel like you've conquered the world (it's also true), but no one tells you under what circumstances the dune sings. First, the weather is good. If it rains, it won't work. Secondly, you must climb the dune. Nothing will work without your participation. Climb to the top, sit on your ass and, helping yourself with your hands and feet, go down. You will feel a vibration and hear a hum, as if an airplane is flying (someone compares it to the sound of an organ). The steeper the slope you choose, the more people will participate in the descent, the louder the sound will be. And it's very cool! When we went down like that, there were tourists upstairs. They later told us that they had also heard the dune humming as we descended.

The singing dune is a mountain of sand about 150 meters high. It took effort to climb it, but it's a real thrill if you do it barefoot - very nice clean sand. Above, there are views of the surrounding area, with hills and mountains on both sides, and the Ili River flooding in front. Eagles hover nearby.

I flew to a concert with my favorite performer and didn 't regret it . An incredible atmosphere, a gorgeous visual component, and his best hit in the last 5 thousand years, "Moan of Shaitan," is a timeless masterpiece that gives one goosebumps. Unfortunately, there are some minor disadvantages, but they do not spoil the overall impression.: 1. Security in the form of golden eagles is slightly unnerving, I ask the management to conduct a preventive conversation with them.; 2. It is better to get to the place itself either with the second pendant in your pocket, or very quickly, so that the pendant does not have time to realize that she is dead. I definitely recommend you to visit

In the south of Kazakhstan, in the Altyn-Emel National Park, the Aigaikum dune lurks. Who's hiding? Because this dune is called a small one. And indeed... just think, 3 kilometers long and as high as a 50-storey building! But what is small for a vast nature can be simply immense for a tiny person. Climbing the dune with a slope of 60 degrees in places, with crumbling and dragging down sand, with 30 Degrees Celsius of heat, and closer to the top with a hurricane-force wind, turned out to be the most difficult ... the most difficult of all! But we got a lot of emotions. At 10 on a 5-point scale! At the moment when you, with parched lips and no air in your lungs, with sand in your mouth, eyes and underpants, crawl on four bones to the very crest and sit on a dune riding like a gigantic mythical horse (one leg is burned by the sun, and the other is cooled by cool sand), you feel that you have conquered The whole (no, not like that) THE WHOLE WORLD! And there is no person on earth happier than you at this moment. Short video on @kudapodalche channel

DON'T REPEAT OUR MISTAKES! Before entering the park, you need to buy a pass in the village in front of it, otherwise you will have to return 10 km from the entrance to the park (Why not make a pass office right at the entrance, I don't understand And the dune is a delight, it's very beautiful, but climbing up in hot weather is still a challenge, evaluate your strength correctly)

An amazing place, with its own mystical atmosphere. Conquering it has been a goal for me for a long time and I was glad that I reached the very top. Slide down while sitting on your butt and feel the sound as if you have an airplane under your feet. The view from the dune is fascinating. Be sure to take a cap with you because it's hot!!!!

You definitely need to visit. It is better to drive a car with bigger wheels. Most of the way goes through the steppe, where the road looks like a slate. It's really better to drive fast on it. At speeds over 60 km/h, the damage to the suspension is less. If you do not go in the summer, then it is better to take warm clothes with you to the top of the dune. We were in September, it was hot downstairs, and there was a strong wind and cold air at the top.

It's beautiful, but the road is terrible, if you want to kill the suspension, go there. The dune itself is long, the wind is strong, you can admire it when there are no people, and this probably does not happen or only at night.

A unique place, far away but worth it. It's better to go in the spring, while it's not hot. Do not forget to pay for the entrance to the reserve.

It is difficult to find, but it is possible, the coordinates of the three attractions are on the Internet, it is better to immediately be puzzled by their search, in general, the singing dune looks like artificial imported sand, since there is not much of it and wherever it stands, the steppe is visible from all angles, you can safely go under the signs no trespassing, I think they were put by the locals for their own benefit.

A very unusual natural landmark, stands out from the surrounding world with its originality. Every day is like a new one, no matter how many people walk through it. Come in the morning, no one and everything is in its original form. Beauty! We climb to the top, there is a beautiful view of the surroundings and the Ili River. And of course, the descent down on the butt is accompanied by an original sound from the vibrations of the sand, similar to the roar of an airplane. A miracle! There is a parking lot, a trash can, a toilet. Please save the natural monument, do not throw bottles, corks, coins and other things from the dune, everything remains in the sand, it is not pleasant. 6 caps, 2 bottles, 4 coins, 3 sticks were collected.

Impressive, extraordinary views. I highly recommend visiting it. Minus the difficulty of purchasing tickets (the office of the reserve administration should be searched in the village). The inspector at the entrance turned out to be extremely honest, despite the widespread bribery in the KZ. I had to go to the village a second time, we lost a lot of time on this. And also, for a very bad road to the dune

A place exclusively for interesting photos of "I'm in the desert". The burkhan is small, the surrounding greenery is visible from any point, so it is impossible to get into the sandy spirit until the end. But if you wander around, choose an angle and connect your imagination... The photos will be very atmospheric!

An amazing miracle of nature! A lot of impressions were received during the ascent of the dune! The height of the dune is about 150 meters, I advise you to stock up on water) However, the road on the way to the dune is not easy (bad roads, serpentine and gravel). It is better to drive an SUV with an experienced driver . P.S. To visit the nature park, you need to issue a special pass.

A huge natural monument that shows the diversity and beauty of the steppe. In spring, the desert blooms around the dune, and views of the Ili River flood open. The disadvantages are the road, a small amount of information inside the park, and meager booklets. I would like to know more about the place where you came

A huge sandbox 😄 It is mandatory to visit at least once in your life. You need to go there overnight and preferably in an SUV. There are rooms for overnight stays in the nearest village. There are still interesting places to visit nearby.

I have always been interested in why the name "flying dunes" is so called. After visiting, I realized this. The dunes are really singing under you! A great place, worth visiting for every Almaty resident and not only. However, the road to the PPTS is called Hodovka. It's hard on a sedan. It's easier for the crossover.
