Walking on the singing dunes The singing dunes' are about 180 kilometres from Almaty I didn't understand how a desert can 'sing' until I stood on the sand and listened to the sound that it makes. Incredible! Exploring the steppe We stayed with a local family in yurts for three nights. They took us on their horses to explore the grasslands, or 'steppe! We saw lots of rabbits! We also met our host family's eagles. They use them to hunt rabbits and foxes. In the evening, we ate with the family and they played traditional music for us. They were so kind that we didn't want to leave! White water rafting on the Chilik river Rafting on the Chilik river in a big rubber boat was cool. We got very wet and at times I thought we were all going to fall in the river! It's quite scary when the water's flowing fast. Mountain biking in the mountains and canyons This was the best part of our holiday for me. We travelled by helicopter to North Inylchek Base Camp (4,000 metres). When we arrived, we had lunch and took photos of Kazakhstan's highest mountain - Khan Tengri. Then it was time to go down the mountain again - this time we did it by bike! After that, we spent four days cycling along some fantastic canyons. The photo is of my new friend Yerden at Temirlik Canyon. I was really tired at the end, but I really enjoyed it. Extra reading
