Akbastau

It heads northwards as a mountain river, forming rapids within a narrow valley.

Towards the end it enters a floodplain and its channel divides into branches and becomes sinuous, flowing roughly northwards all along.

Finally it reaches the left bank of river Nura close to the western slopes of Mount Yegizkyzyl.

The water of the river stays fresh all year round.

Grasses, willow thickets, fescue and sedges grow near the banks.
