Bashut Peak is a mountain peak located at an altitude of 3,355 meters above sea level in the mountains of the Trans–Ili Alatau within the city of Almaty. The mountain peak is famous for being located on a mountain route called the "Little Almaty Circumnavigation", which can be completed in one day and visit several mountain peaks at once. The ascent to the peak begins in the Kimasar gorge, which can be reached through the Small Almaty Gorge and the Medeo tract, where the famous high-altitude sports complex and the Medeo skating rink are located.

Passing the swing and moving up the route, we will reach Furmanov Peak, then we will pass Panorama Peak, which offers a magnificent mountain panorama of the Ile-Alatau Park and the city of Almaty. Then, following the route, we will reach Mount Bashut and after that we will reach the peak of Cimbulak (Mount Cimbulachka) from which we will descend to the Big Talgar mountain pass. From the pass, you can walk down to the high mountain base of Cimbulak (Cimbulak) or use the services of the Medeo-Cimbulak cable car and descend on it to the Medeo tract from where our journey began.
