Kolban – the Holy Summit of Uimon valley
In the northern part of Katun ridge, between Akchan and Kuragan rivers, the giant truncated pyramid rises above Uimon valley. The pyramid is not marked on the maps, yet many groups of tourists have ascended to the summit along the narrow ridge to view the cyclorama with Katunskyi, Terektinskyi and Chuiskyi ridges. The pyramid is surrounded with snow-capped peaks with ten rivers at the foot of it.
