Left Talgar Gorge is a picturesque mountain gorge, part of the national Almaty reserve and located in the Zailiysky Alatau mountains. The gorge is very popular among fans of active recreation and multi-day mountain trips. The gorge is the western part of the main Talgar gorge, through which the turbulent mountain river Talgar flows.
