Burhan-bulak falls, Tallest waterfall in Jongar Alatau mountains, Kazakhstan.
The waterfall spans 168 meters in height, forming three distinct cascades along the rock face of the Kora River gorge at 2000 meters elevation.
The waterfall gained recognition in Kazakhstan's natural heritage records during the 20th century as researchers documented the mountain ranges of Central Asia.
Local narratives connect the waterfall to the tale of Burhan and Cora, whose love story intertwines with the flowing waters and nearby stream.
Visitors need to plan a three-hour journey through mountain paths to reach the waterfall, requiring appropriate hiking gear and weather considerations.
The surrounding area contains fir trees and Asian juniper, creating a specific environment where humidity remains constant despite altitude changes.
