Korgalzhyn Reserve Visitor Centre

Covering both the ecology and the local culture, the Korgalzyhn Reserve Visitor Centre will give you a great introduction to the park, especially about the importance of the protection of the species in Saryarka.

The visitor centre exhibitions display the diverse variety of endemic flora and fauna and the educational rooms will be of interest to both children and adults. Because it is staffed, you can ask the local rangers questions, inquire about homestays, and buy permits for further adventures into the World Heritage Site. Given the size of the landscape, it is advisable to hire a guide to see all regions and hidden gems.

While you're here, you can also check out the cinema hall, buy some souvenirs, stop for a snack at the cafe, and visit the winter garden. The local town also has administrative buildings should visitors require assistance entering or exiting Saryarka.
