7 Stops
1
Konaev City
If we leave early in the morning, around 7:30, we'll easily avoid traffic while exiting the metropolis. By around 9:00 a.m., we’ll be passing through the city of Konaev. This small industrial town, built during the Soviet era, is situated on the shores of the Kapchagay Reservoir. It is notable for its numerous gambling establishments and casinos. Most of these casinos are located along the highway we’ll be traveling on, so we’ll get to see them as we pass by.
2
Kapchagai Reservoir
We are crossing a picturesque section of the Kapchagay Reservoir via the dam bridge of the hydroelectric power station, surrounded by rugged cliffs. From the bridge, there is a stunning view of the landscape. There's an option to stop near the observation deck to take in the sight of the lake. The Kapchagay Reservoir was created in the 1970s on the Ili River, the largest river in the region. Once we leave the Kapchagay Gorge, a majestic panorama of the Zailiysky Alatau mountains unfolds against the backdrop of the reservoir.

Saryozek
After crossing the small mountain pass of Arkharly, named after mountain goats, we will pass through the modest village of Saryozek, the administrative center of the agricultural Kerbulak district. This district stretches over an extensive area of approximately 200 kilometers.
The road then winds through a scenic intermountain valley, nestled between the Arkharly and Altyn-Emel passes, where agriculture thrives.

The Singing Barkhan
The journey to the Singing Dune will take approximately one hour, driving across the steppe. Along the way, you might spot wild animals such as goitered gazelles, kulans, foxes, hares, large birds, and other creatures that inhabit the park. The trip is also accompanied by stunning views of the nearby mountains. Upon reaching the Singing Dune, you’ll have the chance to take a walk and climb to its peak. It’s a delightful and refreshing experience. If the weather is warm, you can even walk barefoot. From the top of the dune, there are breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes, the river, and towering mountains. If you descend quickly from the dune, you’ll hear its unique "singing" sound. After your walk, you can relax in a nearby bungalow with a view of the dune close to the parking area.
