Mount Ku is part of the Kazakh Upland system (Saryarka). It is a compact-shaped range of moderate altitude located in the northeastern sector of the highlands. The Myrzhyk massif lies 40km (30miles) to the ENE of the eastern slopes, the Bakty Range 35km (22miles) to the south, and the Kent Range 60km (40miles) to the SSW. Lake Balyktykol lies 30km (20miles) to the west.
The highest point of Mount Ku is a 1356m (4,449feet) high summit. There are springs at the foot of the mountains.[1] [3] [4]
The summits of Mont Ku are rocky. The soil is dark brown. Sparse pine forests grow on some of the lower slope areas. The valleys and small gorges have shrub growth, as well as willow and birch thickets.[1]
