Karzhantau the ridge in the Southern Kazakhstan area of Kazakhstan and the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan, enters the mountain system of the Western Tien-Shan. The most part of the ridge settles down in the territory of the Southern Kazakhstan area of Kazakhstan, the western part of the mountains Karzhantau is located in the territory of the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan.
Mountains are located in the direction from the southwest on the northeast Average heights in the central part of the ridge make 2000 meters above sea level, in its southwest part - 700 - 800 meters above sea level. Separate tops reach 2500 - 2800 meters above sea level.
The highest point of Karzhantau - the mountain Mingbulak of 2823 meters above sea level. Going down to the southwest, the ridge passes into Karachatau height. In this area, along the ridge there passes the site of frontier between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan 30 - 40 km long.
In the north Karzhantau lasts practically in the width direction. Total length of the ridge makes 90 km. The ridge has an asymmetric structure. From Karzhantau southeast forms very steep, steep side slopes which are cut deeply up by gorges. Karzhantau limits in the West the valley of the river Ugam.
Northwest slopes pass hollow. They are cut by the left inflows of the river Keles. Karzhantau acts as a watershed between Ugam pools and Chirchiq on the one hand, and the Keles pool - with another. Among the rivers of the pool of Keles from a northwest slope of the ridge Kyzylatasay, Zhuzumsay, Uyasay, Karzhansay, Kokparsay, Mugalysay, and also the river Dietary supplements (inflow of the river Arys) flow down.
