Tabazhok, Mountain summit in Kosh-Agachsky District, Russia.
Tabazhok is a mountain summit in the Altai Republic that rises to 3,200 meters with steep slopes and rocky terrain. It stands as part of a mountain range that extends across the upland plateau.
The mountain lies within the Kosh-Agachsky District, established in 1922, which developed into a significant agricultural area. The region has long been home to indigenous mountain communities.
The area is home to Kazakh and Altai peoples who continue their traditional pastoral way of life in the surrounding grasslands. Their herding practices shape the landscape and daily rhythm of the region.
Visitors planning to reach Tabazhok should prepare for extreme temperature swings depending on the season, as conditions change dramatically throughout the year. The warmer months offer the most favorable conditions for access.
The summit sits in one of Russia's driest regions where rainfall remains scarce despite the high elevation. These arid conditions create a stark landscape with sparse vegetation.
