Kyzyltau (Қызылтау) is a mountain range located in Bayanaul District, Pavlodar Region, Kazakhstan.
The border between Karaganda Region and Pavlodar Region lies at the southern end of the mountain range. Zhanatilek lies roughly 60km (40miles) to the west and Yegindybulak town 55km (34miles) to the south.[1]
Kyzyltau is located in the central sector of the Kazakh Uplands, 35km (22miles) to the southeast of the Bayanaul Range. The Zheltau massif rises 13km (08miles) to the west of the southwestern slopes. The range stretches for roughly 60km (40miles) between the valley of the Espe river to the valley of the Balatundik.[1] [3] [4]
The highest point of the range is 1055m (3,461feet) high Auliye (Әулие) located in the southern/central sector. Another important mountain is 764m (2,507feet) high Karakuys (Қарақуыс) in the northwestern part. There are springs at the feet of the range.[1]
In non-rocky areas the mountains are partly covered with low vegetation, such as Caragana, Spiraea, Helictotrichon, Stipa capillata, Festuca and Artemisia. These are used as livestock pasture by local herdsmen.[4]
