カザフスタンの絶景の山頂・トップ6

Bozzhyra is a magnificent landscape in Kazakhstan. The remote mountain range in the western part of the Ustyurts Plateau shines from white to yellow, red, and brown. It consists of limestone and chalk cliffs and is known for its unique rock formations. The name means "gray-blue land" in Kazakh. Mount Bokty is depicted on the old 1,000-tenge banknote of the National Bank of Kazakhstan. It rises amidst a white salt pan, where fossils may also be found, a remnant created by weathering and erosion. The area is remote, and infrastructure is poorly developed. It is advisable to be well prepared, with shops and gas stations nearby.

A very beautiful and unpopular peak. From here you can see the Big Almaty Lake, the city of Almaty, the peaks of the Soviets, Molodezhny, Ozerny, etc. When approaching the peak, be prepared for steep climbs and a barely visible path. The peak is accessible for climbing from May to October.

Beautiful mountain. I recommend taking the route from Alma-Arasan as it is easy to navigate. It's quite steep but perfectly manageable. I won't recommend taking the path down the ridge to GES-2 in the summer months (probably fine in other seasons). It is quite overgrown at times, so you will most probably take a wrong turn at some point and then scramble back to path through dense forest. Also, as of this year, it is absolutely infested with deer keds. I took around 50 of them off from my arms and neck during the descent 😬

Mountaineering routes only. Don't try to "hike" this peak - you'll die.

Good peak with beautiful views.

Nice but hard excursion, climbed up over the ski trails. Safe especially when the resort is opened with a lot of people around.

Very nice climb up to Furmanov peak. On clear days you will be able to see the city. The last 200 meters are very challenging when there's fresh snow. Slippery. Take crampons. Views are amazing. In kilometers it doesn't look like a long trek, but normally people will need around 7 hours to cover only 14 km. In snow it took us 9 hours.

This is a hiking route, which stops just under the begining of technical route of 1b rock climbing category, so it is not the accent to the top of the mountain. To accent the top of the mountain requires team work with backup ropes, pitches mounting, etc.
