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.
