Cave Mosaic

The Mosaic Cave is one of the most important attractions of the Kyzyladyr karst field. This small karst cave was formed as a result of the erosion of gypsum rocks by groundwater and seasonal waters. The entrance to the cave is a narrow passage that can only be traversed by crawling. Inside the cave, there is a cool temperature, not exceeding 14 degrees Celsius in summer, and can drop to almost zero in winter.

The Mosaic Cave consists of several corridors and narrow meanders. Its walls and ceiling are made of gypsum rocks, with characteristic exposure of gypsum layers. Inside the cave, numerous drip formations can be seen, as well as small pagodas, stalactites, and stalagmites.

It is best to visit the Mosaic Cave in the summer and autumn months when the groundwater level is minimal. When visiting the cave, it is recommended to wear warm clothing that can get dirty and rubber boots. Because some sections may require crawling or walking on all fours, it is important to have head protection such as a helmet or other gear.
