Burabay Mountains
The striking granite peaks of the Kokshetau Upland, including the famous 'Zhumaktas' rock formations.
Forest Oasis
A dense patch of emerald pine forests that creates a sharp, beautiful contrast with the surrounding dry plains.
The Blue Lakes
Glittering views of Lake Shchuchye and Lake Borovoye, the centerpieces of the regional resort area.
Petropavlovsk Outskirts
Views of the industrial and residential outskirts of Petropavlovsk as you descend toward the Ishim River valley.
The Burabay highlights usually appear about 25-35 minutes into the flight. For the best clarity of the lakes, a morning flight is recommended to avoid the midday haze. Keep your camera ready as the mountain range appears suddenly out of the flat terrain.
