Mount Ulken Boguty Tour From Almaty

Fantastic and unusually red mountains are two massifs - Ulken Boguty and Bala-Boguty, located east of the city of Almaty. These mountains are the foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountain system and stretch between the two rivers Charyn and Chilik. They must go down the road.

You can reach the mountains. After falling into the mountains after rain, when Clay becomes even more red with moisture, you involuntarily recall the landscape of the planet Mars. Canary rain and wind are formed, similar to an abbreviated copy of the Charyn canyon. The landscape of these places is simply amazing.

The Boguty Mountains are located in the Ili valley, between the Trans-Ili Alatau and the Charyn River.

In this area were volcanically developed objects covered with a multimeter layer of volcanic ash. During the Mesozoic, the region was relatively calm, and was not a major reorganization.

Quartz sand and red clay, accumulating on low hills, accumulated in the Paleogene. In the Miocene, variegated clays with small elevations are deposited here. Pink and white sands were deposited from the beginning of the Bogut Range. Paleogene and Miocene - the time of domination on equal typical savannah animals - hipparion, fat, elephant, mastodon, rhino, giant camel, saber-toothed tiger, hyena, ostrich, turtle and others. . The ridge is an accretionary prism, in which there is a layered conglomerate of sedimentary rocks during the deformation of tectonic plates.

We invite you to take part in a trip to Ulken Boguty gorge in the autumn-winter period. You will cross the pass of the ridge and get into the truly Martian landscape of clay deposits that arose millions of years ago.
