Geography

Bugyly is one of the subranges of the Kazakh Upland system. The range stretches for a length of 40 kilometers (25 mi) from the southwest to the northeast. Its highest point is the 1,184 meters (3,885 ft) high Burkit.[4] The mountains are of moderate height and have generally smooth, gentle slopes. River Sherubainura flows at the feet of the northeastern end of the Bugyly and some of its left tributaries originate in the range. The Zhaksy Tagyly (Жақсы Тағылы) range lies to the south of the southern end.[1][5]
