Pik Talgar

Pik Talgar is a summit in Kazakhstan's Tian Shan mountain range, named after the Talgar river and city. It is the Trans-Ili Alatau's tallest peak. It is a famous mountaineering destination due to its proximity to Almaty, Kazakhstan's former capital.

Pik Talgar is the tallest peak in Kazakhstan's trans-Ili Atau mountain ranges and one of the country's northernmost summits. It's a great place for classic mountaineering, camping, and recreational activities. The Ile-Alatau State National Park and the Almaty reserve are also part of the Talgar region. With jagged and steep-sided hillsides, the mountain climbs to a height of 16,335 feet. Alpine meadows, alpine poppies, daisies, Edelweiss, and native high-mountain sedge bogs are the main vegetation in the surrounding mountain range. Many gorges and valleys with multiple downfalls, taluses, and rock falls can be found at lower levels.
