Excursion Darbaza valley Aksu-Zhabagly. 

Original, narrow, rocky gate depth more than 100 meters and width only 6 - 8 meters was cut in a high mountain ridge with small river Baldabrek.
This place and is called - Darbaza in reserve Aksu-Zhabagly, on-kazakh means "gate".
In hot summer day in close gorge it is always cool from river freshness in a shadow of the huge rocks decorated by fancifully hanging down plants.
