Tours on taiga lakes of East Kazakhstan

On the southern slope of Listvyag ridge lies Lake Maralie Chaban-Bai. " From it flows the Belaya River, which flows into Bukhtarm. Lake Maralie or Chaban-Bai is located at an altitude of 1718 m above sea level. It lies in a diffuse fold (valley) of tectonic origin, later cluttered with landslides and glacial sediments.
The area of ​​the lake is 2.1 square kilometers, the depth is about 4 m. The coastal deposits are represented by clay and sandy bog soils, silted sands, pebbles, and at the sources - boulders. Such a coastal structure probably indicates the old age of the lake.
Whitish and brown silt is deposited at the bottom, occasionally sand. The color of the water is light brown, transparency 2 m. The temperature of the surface layers +13 - 18 ° (July), bottom - + 14 ° C. The Maralikha River flows into the lake - a quiet, swampy river up to 15 km long and the Khayryuzovka river - up to 10 km long.
The noisy big river Bela flows out of the lake
