Also, the Zhinishke plateau is located in the mountains, and a mountain road passes through the plateau, there is no asphalt, we recommend traveling here with at least two cars for mutual assistance and safety. Through the Zhinishke plateau on a mountain road you can get to the Amanzhol mountain gorge, the road passes through the Akkiya pass, the height of which is 2933 meters above sea level. We strongly recommend traveling here only in the summer, the end of June, July, August, at other times the roads are absolutely impassable, especially in winter. On the Zhinishke plateau in the summer you can meet nomads, their yurts and camps.
Stone town on the Zhenishke plateau -
The stone city is located at an altitude of 3233 meters above sea level and consists of scattered huge pieces of rocks over a vast territory. The place attracts travelers on highly passable 4x4 cars, since it is possible to get here only by high passable jeeps. The rocks are like an ancient city that was high in the mountains that was destroyed by time.
