Kazakhstan's largest protected area spanning the Southern Altai Mountains at the crossroads of four nations

Katon-Karagay National Park

Katon-Karagay National Park is the largest national park in Kazakhstan, occupying a spectacular stretch of the Southern Altai Mountains on the country's eastern edge. The park sits at a remarkable geographic crossroads where the borders of Kazakhstan, Russia, China, and Mongolia converge, creating a mountainous landscape of exceptional ecological diversity. Established in 2001, this protected area encompasses over 643,000 hectares of glaciated peaks, alpine meadows, and forested valleys that represent some of the most pristine terrain in Central Asia. The park protects the western slopes of the Altai range, including portions of the Katun Range that hold Belukha Mountain, the highest summit in the South Siberian Mountains at 4,506 meters. This location at the biogeographic divide between Siberian coniferous forests and the cold deserts of Central Asia has produced an extraordinary mosaic of habitats and species.
