The lake was formed in the last century, and very deep, more than one diver could not reach the bottom of the depression. Earlier on the site of the lake was an ash grove, ancient trees still rise to their full height at the bottom.

The weather in the Ketmen mountains is changing rapidly: an unexpectedly cold downpour, or a sultry heat will come. In the foothills, there may be full bloom of trees, and on the shadowy slopes and peaks even in summer there will be snow. But temperature fluctuations will not prevent anyone who wants to enjoy the silence of nature and walk along the animal paths of these mountains. For this when planning your trip, keep in mind and take with you raincoats and hats. The mountains have a relatively close distance to Almaty, but few are visited by tourists.

At the end of the Roman period, the Boguty mountain range was a large active volcano. Millions of years have passed, volcanic activity ceased. Numerous hot springs and traces of white eruptions. Rent a car to travel to Boguty.

Today the Boguty Mountains represent two small massifs of Bala and Ulken Boguty, located in the Zaili valley, between the rivers Chilik and Charyn. The maximum height of the mountains is 1441 and 1816 meters above sea level. The mountains are rocky, the gorge is mostly narrow, difficult to pass. There are no permanent rivers and streams, but there are about two dozen springs.

In the distant geological past, active mountain building took place on the territory of modern Southeast Kazakhstan. In the Triassic period (it ended approximately 252 million years ago) the mountains, which are the forerunners of the modern Tien Shan, grew here. At that time, there were powerful eruptions of a volcano, on the site of which today are the Boguty Mountains. This is indicated by the numerous clumps of petrified volcanic ash and frozen lava flows, the time for which stopped even before the appearance of dinosaurs.

The climate is sharply continental, very hot summer and harsh winter. It is better to go on a crossover or jeep. Choose a rental car for rent in Boguty.

“Temirlik Canyon”

The canyon of the Temirlik River is not as grandiose as its neighbor, the Charyn Valley of Castles, and is not as popular among the townspeople. But this is what has its own charm: there you can find many secluded corners where the tourist has not yet walked. The small river Temirlik is a right tributary of the Charyn River. It originates in the highlands of the Ketmen ridge. Below, where Temirlik escapes from the embrace of the mountain gorge of the same name, the river then flows widely and freely, the cliffs squeeze the riverbed – the stream becomes turbulent, then there are rapids that even water sportsmen cannot overcome.

For millions of years, the river Temirlik is a problem in a steppe canyon at the foot of the Ketmen mountain range. Like the Valley of Castles, the canyon of the Timirlik River is a whole ensemble of “palaces”, “towers” and “minarets”. The current shape of the gorge was about a million years ago. On the slopes there are numerous fossils dating back to the Lower Carboniferous (about 300 million years ago). Everyone knows the grove of relic ash, located in the floodplain of the Charyn River. But few people know that such trees, however, not in such large numbers, grow, and in the canyon of the river Temirlik. The climate is sharply continental.

“Lake Issyk”

Lake Issyk was restored after a devastating mudslide, which took place in the early 1990s. The lake is one of the most popular recreation places for Almaty residents and residents of the nearest settlements.

Lake Issyk is located in the Issyk gorge of the Trans-Ili Alatau, east of Almaty. Height above sea level more than 1700 meters. According to geological data, it was formed about 8-10 thousand years ago as a result of a grand mountain fall that created a natural dam.

All people think they know maybe they heard about the Dead Sea – a very salty lake in Israel. But few people know that there is a lake of similar composition in Almaty region. This is Tuzkol, translated from Kazakh as “salt lake”.

Raiymbek district, located in the south-east of Almaty region, can be called the most picturesque. It is enough to remember that it is here that such popular places of recreation as the lakes Kulsai and Kaindy, the Valley of Castles on the Charyn River, the unique grove of relict ash are located.

“Karkaralinsk”

Karkaralinsk is the second significant resort place in our country after Borovoye. There are mountain forests, deep lakes made this village a Mecca of tourism not only for the residents of Karaganda, but also for the whole of Kazakhstan.

The middle mountains of Central Kazakhstan (the highest point is Mount Aksoran – 1565 meters – located in the mountain range Kyzylarai) is called Sary-Arka or the Kazakh low-mountain peak. This is one of the most ancient and large mountain systems of our planet. Its length from west to east is 1,200 km, from north to south 600 kilometers. The ancients called these mountains Scythian. The mountain ranges of the Kazakh small mountain range are called mountain-forest oases. Most of the intermontane plains of the Kazakh small mountain range are rather steppes, much less often stony deserts, and only on the southern outskirts there are small patches of sandy deserts with low sand dunes. Intermountain plains occupy more than 40% of all areas of the Kazakh Hills. In the north-east of Sary-Arka there is Karkaraly National Park.

Karkaraly National Natural Park was organized on December 1, 1998. Located in the eastern part of the Karaganda region, 200 kilometers from the city of Karaganda. The park area is 90.3 thousand hectares.

“Kyzylarai Mountains”

Renting a car, renting to travel around Kazakhstan is easy in the Vladex car rental. The territory of the Casal-arai massif is large, 15 to 25 kilometers. Like Bektau-Ata, these mountains are the remains of an ancient volcano, only unlike Bektau, the volcano was active here. The mountains are composed mainly of igneous and sedimentary rocks, among which porphyrites, granites, quartzites, sandstones, and shales predominate.The intermountain valleys and slopes are covered with dense pine forests, and the flat areas are occupied by birch groves. In the Kazylarai mountains there is the highest point of the entire Sary-Arka region – Aksoran mountain, whose crown is located at around 1565 meters. That is why this mountain range is called the Roof of the Steppes.

The main attraction in this area is the local history archeological and ethnographic museum located in the village of Aktogay. The most amazing thing is that this museum has the most unique exhibits. In addition to the antiquities obtained during the excavation, there is one exhibit in it, which has no analogue anywhere else. This stuffed extinct half a century ago, the Turan tiger, who was also called the Transcaucasian or Balkhash tiger. This subspecies was distinguished by a bright red color and also by the length of the bands: they were longer and had a brownish tint.

The climate in Kyzyllaray is located far from the oceans and seas, the Siberian anticyclone and the Arctic air masses freely circulate here, so the climate here is dry and sharply continental. The winter is cold, the average January temperature is – 14 … -18 degrees, the maximum is -40 and below. Summer is dry, hot, the average July temperature is +20 … + 24 degrees, maximum +35.

Intermountain valleys are a steppe with small islands of birch groves. Each such grove is surrounded by young shoots, as well as thick, sometimes impassable shrubs, most often consisting of wild rose, hawthorn, raspberry, honeysuckle, meadowsweet and currant. Juniper grows on the rocky slopes, also called juniper. But the basis of the plant world comes from pines.

Many believe that argali live only here, in the mountains of Tien Shan. But this is far from the case – the main population of the mountain sheep lives far away from the Tien Shan, in the Kyzylarai mountains. The fauna of Kyzylarai is rich and diverse. In addition to the aforementioned orkhars, in the mountains and environs, live Komul, saiga, wild boars, wolves, foxes, hares, ermines, corsacs, badgers, ferrets, marmots, muskrats. Birds include bustards, black grouse, partridges, geese, pelicans, herons, gulls, etc.

“Bektau-Ata Mountains”

There are a lot of beautiful places in our country, but few know them. Take, for example, the Northern Balkhash. What is there? The answer of many: the endless steppes and deserts. Of course, such an answer can be considered correct, but with a big reservation. After all, north of Balkhash, among those very boundless steppes, there are rather big mountain ranges. About one of them will tell. This is Bektau-Ata.

Bektauatinsky State Reserve is located 60 kilometers north of the city of Balkhash. This mountain range is nothing but an unborn volcano. In the distant past, in the Paleozoic era, on the border of the Carboniferous and the Permian, a large volcano was born here. He melted the rocks, but never exploded. In this place there is a giant granite cork, which closed the mouth forever. This is the main hypothesis explaining the occurrence of the Bektau-Ata massif. The Bektau-Ata mountain range is small in area – approximately 6×6 kilometers (4,000 hectares), but it contained an extraordinary variety of bizarre rocks and thorny canyons. The processes of weathering have destroyed granite for thousands of years, and where it has succumbed, deep cracks and niches have formed, and some parts of the mountains have taken the most fantastic forms. They are called “Mushroom”, “Chest”, “Turtle”, and “Three-tooth”. One of the massifs is called Sarykuldzh – “Yellow Argali”.

In Bektau-Ata grows about 300 species of meadow with steppe plants. Of these, about 50 species – medicinal. There are dog-rose, meadowsweet, hawthorn, honeysuckle, currant. There is still a rare plant – Kessler’s Astragalus. It is known in Bektau-Ata and the listed book of the plant is a bektauatavsky kopeechnik. There is also a juniper, or Cossack juniper, growing literally on bare rocks.

A rare animal is found here – a five-eyed dwarf jerboa. In the mountains live argali. In the lower reaches and in the steppe, saigas, gazelles and other ungulates occur, followed by wolves. Forest areas attract many birds. These are turtle doves, orioles, boars, warblers, porridge, heaters. Rent and hire a car for traveling in Kazakhstan in Vladex car rental.

“Altyn-Emel”

The nature of Almaty region is striking diversity. There are high mountains covered with caps of eternal glaciers, deep lakes, endless deserts. And there are plenty of reserves and national parks. We offer to go to one of the national parks, namely to Altyn-Emel.

The name Altyn-Emel has Mongolian roots and is translated as “golden saddle”. According to the existing legend, in the summer of 1219 the troops of Genghis Khan moved through this valley to conquer Central Asia.
