Geography
The Kyzylbelen rises in the center of the northern part of the Zhambyl massif, at the eastern edge of the Betpak Dala. It is located close to the southern section of the Zheltau, part of the Chu-Ili Range. With an elevation of 972 metres (3,189 ft), it is the highest summit of the Zhambyl massif.
