Butakovsky gorge, Mountain defile in Zailiysky Alatau ridge, Kazakhstan
The Butakovsky gorge extends for 14 kilometers with elevations from 1700 to 2900 meters, featuring two waterfalls along the Butakovka River.
The gorge territory served as the dacha residence of Semirechye's first Governor G. A. Kolpakovsky during the nineteenth century.
The name originates from either a Cossack guard chief stationed there in 1860s or from Kazakh word 'butak' meaning tributary.
Visitors reach the gorge through Dostyk Avenue and Beiseuova Street to the national park eco-post, with city bus 29P providing public transportation.
The lower waterfall creates a natural water curtain effect, allowing visitors to experience views through cascading water from a special vantage point.
