Цели обучения: Kazakhstan is the perfect holiday destination if you're looking for an adventure. Near Almaty, in particular, there are several places to go for people who like spending time outside. For example, Altyn Emel National Park is only three hours' drive from Almaty and provides an escape from the busy city. It is ideal for backpackers wishing to spend time relaxing outdoors, as it is possible to both camp and stay in guesthouses within the park. Altyn Emel is around 4600 km² and is home to many amazing landmarks, including the Aktau mountains, famous for their white, brown, and orange stripes, and the 'singing dune'. Visitors who want to challenge themselves sometimes cycle to the dune. However, it is also possible to hike. People mostly travel here for the beautiful views of the Ili river and to listen to the sound of the singing sand. Stories of strange creatures singing in the desert were created to explain this sound.
During the winter months, the ski resort, Shymbulak, is another popular holiday destination. It is only 25 km from Almaty, but people come from all over the world to ski at this resort. In 2011, Almaty hosted the Asian Winter Games and 843 athletes from 26 different countries competed on the mountains. Then in 2014, Prince Harry went skiing at Shymbulak with his girlfriend. However, it is not just athletes and celebrities that go there. People who don't know how to ski can also stay at the resort. It is often visited by beginners who want to attend the ski school and climbers going to the Tien Shan peaks.
