The mountain oasis Bugyly (or Daria, as the people of Karaganda usually call it, after the name of the nearby railway station) is an ideal place to see quite a lot, having just a little time, namely those steppe landscapes typical of Central Kazakhstan, alternating small mountain ranges, thus getting a fairly complete impression of what Sary-Arka is in essence.
