Kyzylnura

The Chatkal Range's second highest peak, Kyzylnura / Kyzyl Nura, is located to the south-southwest of Big Chimgan (3,267 m). Gora Kyzylnura is a mountain in the Uzbekistan city of Toshkent. The peak's name translates to "Red Ray" in Uzbek, owing to the peak's unique geological characteristics. It is made of red granite, and when the stone isn't covered in snow, which happens most often in August and September, the peak turns a bright red at sunset, making it stand out against the background of neighboring mountains. If you look east from Tashkent's city center, you can see this phenomenon right away.

On the southwestern slopes, the Chatkal State Biosphere Reserve is located. When climbing Kyzylnura, the town of Yangiabad, where the road to Babaytag begins, is likely to be your final destination.
