Jetisu Region

The Aktau Chalk Mountains are the main attraction of Altyn Emel National Park after the Singing Barkhan.

The Aktau Mountains (translated from the Kazakh language as "white mountains") are a unique geological formation, the bottom of the dried up ancient ocean, which got its name from the basic white color of the composing rocks.

The length of the Aktau Mountains from east to west is 30 km, from north to south - up to 2 km. The total area is about 50 km2.

Burkhan-Bulak is the highest waterfall in Kazakhstan. It is located in the Yeskeldinskiy district of Almaty region, in the Dzungarian Alatau mountains, in the Kora river gorge, above the town of Tekeli of regional importance, 130 km from Taldykorgan. The total height of Burkhan-Bulak is 168 meters, and the visible part includes three lower cascades, the height of 114 meters.

The Dzungarian Alatau, also known as the Dzungarian Range, is a mountain range located in Central Asia. It extends through the territories of Kazakhstan, China, and Mongolia. The name "Dzungar" comes from the name of the ethno-cultural group that lived in these areas.

The Dzungar Alatau is a part of the Tien Shan mountain system, which includes several ridges and mountain ranges. This range is characterized by beautiful landscapes, including high mountain peaks, deep gorges, glaciers, and mountain rivers.

The Zharkent mosque is a grandiose building of the 19th century; its architecture combines the motives of Central Asian and Chinese architecture. The main building material for the construction of the temple was wood - logs of the Tien Shan spruce, which were delivered to Zharkent from the Aksu and Ketmen mountains. This structure is already over 120 years old (the museum itself claims that mosques are 130 years old, if you keep a record from the beginning of construction, that is, from 1887), but it still causes surprise for all people who see it for the first time.

Altyn Emel National Park is the largest and most famous nature conservation area in Kazakhstan, where the famous Singing Barkhan, the majestic Sak kurgans and the picturesque mountains of Aktau and Katutau are located. The park covers 523053 hectares and is located in the valley of the Ili River, 300 km away from the city of Almaty. Altyn Emel lies in the desert and mountain zones, where 1,800 species of plants grow. Within the park there are 78 species of mammals and 260 species of birds. On the spacious plains and mountain slopes gazelles, kulans and argali feel great.

Taldykorgan Airport is the gateway to a world of travel and opportunity, where every arrival and departure is filled with the anticipation of new adventures and meetings. The noise of engines and the hubbub of passengers can be heard here, creating an atmosphere of the living pulse of time, where every moment is important and filled with meaning.
