The chalk mountains of Akzhar are one of the brightest, in the truest sense of the word, natural attractions of the endless expanses of Saryarka (Kazakh Upland) – an ancient, heavily eroded mountainous region in the central part of Kazakhstan.

The highest mountains are located in the east of Saryarka and the red-yellow Akzhar mountains can be found in the extreme southwest, on the border of the Karagandy and Kostanay regions. Akzhar Mountains on Google Maps. Photos by: Evgeniy Drobotenko.
