Also you will get an opportunity to see the objects of tourist routes in 3D format - Aulietau, mausoleums of Zhoshykhan, Alashakhan, Edyge, Altynshoky monument, Khan Ordasy and Terekty aulie complex. The reserve-museum is keeping up with the times and working at mega-projects aimed to form one of the directions of the cultural and tourist cluster "Unity of Nature and Nomadic Culture", to enhance the competitiveness of Ulytau tourist industry – so to build Ulytau Visit Center and hotel complex "Ethno-village “Khan Shatyr".

It should be noted about the contribution of the reserve museum in the idea to pull cultures together through the international round-the-world expedition "Altai-Danube" and other regional expeditions that unite tourism specialists, photographers, geographers, historians, and so on.

There is another unique project awarded to the international organization of UNESCO,that is "Tersakkan Spring" ethno-fest, in the context of which the "Biye bailau", "Aigyr Kosu" and "Kymyzmurindyk" ceremonies are held.
